About Us

In 2009, my life changed drastically after a car accident left me with a spinal cord
injury, partial paralysis, and the challenge of learning to walk again. After time spent in
rehabilitation, managing constant pain, high medication costs, and frequent therapy sessions,
I can walk again, with a ‘sway’.

This experience has deepened my appreciation for health and inspired me to help others in
need. I founded The Inner Strength Trust to provide financial support for patients requiring
rehabilitation but lacking the means to afford it. The Trust will benefit those approved by our
Trustees, Dr. Baalbergen, Jacqui Koep and Alna Lategan.

IST changed our lives.

We were introduced to Ronel and her amazing team in 2019.

My hubby had just been in an accident and suffered permanent paralysis just before I gave birth to our son.

As a result, we are under an enormous amount of stress.

However, the IST changed his life.

They have contributed R20 000 towards the Walking with Brandon foundation that made it possible for him to see a bio on a weekly basis to ensure proper rehab was done. It is so important to look after yourself after such a accident.

He also suffered set backs and operations so the rehab with the bio made it possible to ensure the muscles are receiving the proper rehab needed.

The IST are doing amaizing work and we need investors to help them, help more people with disabilities to receive the proper care.

People with disabilities are in such a need to receive proper physio/hydro/bio etc and it is not always financially possible to do that because of all the other expenses.

We thank the IST from the bottom of our hearts.
