At 17, Tay was a typical teen trying to keep his grades up during the week, hanging out with friends on weekends, and enjoying life to the fullest. Then, in the blink of an eye everything changed. Tay was a passenger in a car accident where he sustained injuries to his spine resulting in quadriplegia. Through the help of Connecticut Community Care and many others, Tay’s health stabilized and soon he plans to attend college. In Tay’s words, “The way I look at it…how can I not try hard when these people are trying their best with me. The most I can do for them is just try my best too.”
