We Offer Hope
Hope, Healing, and Support for Families Facing Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury changes lives in an instant. Families often arrive at the ICU overwhelmed, afraid, and unsure of what comes next. At Cheyne’s Brain Foundation, we provide comfort, resources, and a compassionate community to help families navigate those first critical moments and the long journey ahead.
Who We Are
About Cheyne’s
Brain Foundation
Cheyne’s Brain Foundation was created after our family experienced the sudden and life-changing impact of a TBI. We know how confusing and painful those early hours and days can be. That is why we work to ensure no family faces those moments alone.
We focus on practical support, emotional comfort, and clear information for caregivers, survivors, and hospital teams. Our mission is simple. We help families feel cared for, informed, and supported from the moment their loved one enters the ICU and throughout their recovery.
A Hug From Us
Comfort Bags: Practical Care and Compassion When Families Need It Most
No one is prepared to get that call… that a family member has been taken to the ICU. Families often arrive suddenly and without essentials. Our Comfort Bags provide carefully selected meaningful items that ease stress and bring a sense of grounding during those first overwhelming hours.
How you can help
Supporting Families Through Life’s Most Difficult Moments
At Cheyne’s Brain, we’re committed to supporting individuals and families affected by severe traumatic brain injuries. Your support helps provide critical financial, emotional, and rehabilitative resources to those who have nowhere else to turn.
Real families. Real moments. Real impact.
Every story reminds us why our mission matters. Our work is built on empathy, shared experience, and a deep belief that small acts of kindness can make a difference in a family’s healing journey.
"You don't even know what to ask for when people ask you what you need and they just knew."
"They have thought about everything you can possibly need."
"The blankets and supplies are just what I needed, please thank them for us."
"I've been in several hospitals and never had anything so special, wish I had that when my dad was in the ICU."
Our Community Partnerships
We collaborate with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, local businesses, and community organizations who share our commitment to supporting TBI families. Our partners help us reach more families, expand our programs, and strengthen the resources available during the recovery journey.
If your organization or hospital would like to work with us, we welcome meaningful partnerships that improve care and support for survivors and caregivers.

“A traumatic brain injury turns a family’s world upside down in an instant. As a parent of a child who suffered from a severe TBI, I know how isolating and overwhelming the ICU experience can be. The Cheyne’s Brain Comfort Care Bags feel like a warm hug—offering compassion, reassurance, and a reminder that families are not alone during one of the hardest moments of their lives.”
