The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, Inc., (Terri's Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit group dedicated to helping persons with disabilities, and the incapacitated who are in or potentially facing life-threatening situations.
Incorporated in 2001 to fight for the life of Terri Schindler Schiavo, the clear focus of Terri's Foundation now and in the future is to help others avoid tragedies that reflect what Terri endured. Therefore, Terri's Foundation has set a course to address the following objectives:
Hire staff, build infrastructure and provide for a stable base of operations.
Develop a model support network, implement it at the state or regional level and make preparations to eventually expand operations into a nation-wide support network.
Establish the Foundation as the authoritative, indispensable resource for patients and families facing life-threatening situations.
Establish a Terri Schindler Schiavo Memorial site and erect the memorial sculpture "Compassion."
The Future
Terri's Foundation anticipates establishing Terri Schindler Schiavo neurological centers to provide care for brain injury victims and support for their families.
