About Operation ReFresh Inc
Operation ReFresh, Inc. was born from a mother’s fight. Founder, Lisa Colston, faced every parent’s worst nightmare when her son, Vince, (Fresh The DJ), suffered a traumatic brain injury after being struck by a car, with an 8% chance of survival. Despite doctors’ grim predictions that he might never regain his sight, ability to walk, or speak, Fresh’s miraculous journey of recovery became Lisa’s purpose.
Witnessing his lonely, grueling fight – a fight that continues long after the headlines fade – revealed a stark truth: young trauma survivors are often left isolated, struggling to rebuild their lives without adequate support. Lisa dedicated her life to ensuring no other family feels as alone as hers once did. She personally financed early efforts, offering comfort, support, and rehabilitation equipment to families facing similar challenges, her compassion knowing no bounds.
Our Mission:
Restoring Quality of Life
Inspired by Lisa’s unwavering commitment and built on a foundation of trust, Operation ReFresh, Inc. became a dedicated nonprofit. We exist to bridge the critical gap in long-term care for young trauma survivors.
Through our partnership with ReFresh Specialty Gym, we provide:
* Specialized Fitness:
Tailored programs designed for neurological recovery and physical rehabilitation.
* Essential Support:
Emotional guidance, resources, and understanding for survivors and their families.
* A Compassionate Community:
A vibrant space where individuals can connect, share experiences, and find a sense of belonging.
We believe in empowering every survivor to rebuild their lives, rediscover their strength, and find a place where they truly belong.
Our ultimate goal is to ensure the “forgotten” are never alone in their fight for recovery and reintegration into society.
Our Vision:
Accessible Healing for All.
We envision a future where high-quality rehabilitation services are accessible and cost-friendly for all trauma survivors, regardless of financial background, gender, race, age, or religion. Our current scope provides essential support, and we aspire to evolve into a comprehensive in-person service, offering a wide range of physical, mental, and personal development programs at little to no cost.
The demand for our assistance grows daily. Men, women, and children are all affected by life-altering traumatic events like brain injuries, strokes, and car accidents, often facing limited access to extended therapy due to insurance restrictions.
Central to our mission is raising awareness that no one is exempt from the possibility of a life-altering event, but more importantly, that you are not alone.
We are here for families facing hardships in search of resources, for individuals in transition seeking to reintegrate into society, and for anyone needing a word of encouragement.
With Lisa’s unwavering spirit and the support of a growing community, she is poised to transform lives globally, bringing hope and practical, consistent support to those in need.
