Story Matters: Kevin Holt retells events of his stroke, work to recover

Kevin Holt woke up one morning in the middle of experiencing a stroke. After endless hours alone in his apartment, he was rushed to the hospital. After awaking, he discovered his mobility, speech and communication was gone. Here he talks about his journey of recovery.

The Rapidian's Nonprofits section features stories written directly by local nonprofits about their work. These stories reflect their perspectives, not The Rapidian's editorial voice.

We build community when we share our stories - whether they be a memory, an experience or just simply telling what we think is great about this place. The Elevating Voices project is collaborating with 12 local nonprofits through the summer and fall to collect the stories of the voices we don't always hear in mainstream media. This story was captured at Disability Advocates of Kent County's event in Rosa Parks Circle, "Ability in Action."
