Rebuilding Lives- Restoring Hope- ReFreshing Futures
Providing specialized fitness, essential support for those impacted by life altering traumatic events. Our mission is to ensure every survivor receives the care needed to reclaim their independence and thrive!
The Root of Our Mission
Operation ReFresh, Inc. grew from the extraordinary personal commitment of its founder, Lisa Colston. For two years, Lisa personally funded efforts to provide crucial comfort, support, and essential rehabilitation equipment – including electric wheelchairs – to families navigating life-altering situations. Her deep empathy, born from her own son Fresh’s journey, fueled her tireless efforts to alleviate the
helplessness parents often feel.
This singular dedication, driven by a powerful personal mission, has resonated globally. Lisa’s genuine compassion and steadfast advocacy have inspired a worldwide network of supporters eager to contribute their time, resources, and expertise. Her unwavering integrity has cultivated immense trust, building a powerful platform where people truly believe in her vision to make comprehensive rehabilitation services accessible to all trauma survivors.

A Not-for-Profit on a Mission to Make Rehab Accessible to Everyone
In a world where individuals of diverse backgrounds, genders, races, ages, and religions are often marginalized, there exists a forgotten group – those deemed in-able. Among them are individuals who endure the immense challenges brought on by traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and other life-altering circumstances. Sadly, insurance companies restrict their access to vital therapies, leaving them in dire need of support.
We fervently advocate for these individuals and their families, who tirelessly search for resources, therapies, or even a simple word of encouragement. We stand by you, affirming that you are not exempt from care and compassion. You are not alone in your journey to reintegrate into society. We are here, steadfastly committed to extending a helping hand and ensuring that your voices are heard.
