April 30, 2020 collaboration with Cole Ohrt Walk Strong Non-profit begins!
Cole Ohrt is a 19-year-old young man from the Victoria area who was thrown from an ATV on December 21, 2017 while helping on his family’s ranch. The accident resulted in Cole sustaining a high-level spinal cord injury that has left him paralyzed below the neck and ventilator dependent. He spent extensive time in ICU and rehab in San Antonio following the accident and continues to receive therapy today. Once Cole came home his family, caregivers and himself quickly realized Cole would no longer have access to the same high tech therapy equipment he had in Houston unless he was driven to treatment there 2 to 3 times per week. Thus, Cole and his supporters came together to develop this organization to bring this much needed equipment to the Crossroads area and support those who are affected by serious neurological disabilities and diseases.
What is Cole Ohrt Walk Strong-COWS?
Cole Ohrt Walk Strong (COWS) is a 501(c)3 founded by Cole Ohrt, his family and some of his closest supporters in 2020 with a mission of bringing much needed state of the art robotic rehab equipment to the Crossroads area. In addition, they had a vision to provide access to this equipment and other home medical equipment needs to the disabled community regardless of insurance coverage and/or financial limitations in order to improve the quality of life for these individuals. As a result of the COWS organization The Lokomat® Pro, a neuro robotic walking device is an option for those in the Crossroads area who need rehabilitation due to a spinal cord or neurological injury.
It is through Cole’s inspiration, research by his supporters, and funding through his non-profit organization that Cole and many others will have an opportunity to Nunc Coepi and Walk Strong.
Building Kid Steps
and
Cole Ohrt Walk Strong Non-profit
are collaborating to bring a state-of-the-art Lokomat®Pro to Victoria, Texas. This equipment will be available to serve the community and greater South Texas as the Lokomat®Pro devices are limited in comparison to the vastness of Texas geography. There are similar devices in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and West Texas.
The inspired journey of both Cole Ohrt Walk Strong and Building Kid Steps has culminated in the union of many hearts beating as one to form the COAL Center- Christ Over All Limitation which will be located on the Building Kid Steps campus in Victoria. Our collective mission is to bring hope for those who cannot stand or walk alone, to Nunc Coepi, to know we begin again, we stand and walk together. We welcome you to join our journey.
Our Philosophy
Nunc Coepi -
“now I begin.”
We believe in
the words of Venerable
Bruno Lanteri-
“If I should fall even a thousand times a day, a thousand times, with peaceful repentance, I will say immediately,
Nunc Coepi
[Now I begin]”
We believe this for our clients as well and strive to provide what is necessary to assist them to begin as many times as is required to be the person, they were created to be.
