#148 - Friends Therapy and Frequent Flier Miles for Rehabilitation
You might not know the lengths to which a friend might go to carry you through a hard time. You also might not anticipate the way a crisis can create creative responses you never could have imagined. Come along with us as we journey outside the Shepherd Center and celebrate the heroes, young and old, who kept Archer, who was still struggling to breathe on his own, inspired. You might find surprising inspiration and ideas for how you can be part of a hope lifters campaign for a high schooler in your community who is battling a catastrophic injury who needs you now.
This episode features interviews with:
Ned Insley, The father of Archer’s good friend, Jeffers Insley. Ned helped Louise a great deal in getting Archer’s friends down to the Shepherd Center by becoming command central for a large Frequent Flier system. In doing so, he was part of Archer’s care team lifting Archer’s spirits and boosting his heart rate.
Ollie Abramson and Price Campbell, two of Archer’s close friends who were among the first to visit him in Atlanta at the Shepherd Center.
