Support After Non-Fatal Drowning
Project One Cause helps families navigate recovery after a child survives a non-fatal drowning—offering guidance, resources, and financial support when recovery is just beginning.
Every child who survives a non-fatal drowning has a long road ahead.
No parent should walk it alone.
When a child survives a non-fatal drowning, families are suddenly faced with complex therapies, mounting expenses, and a maze of decisions they were never prepared for. Project One Cause stands beside them with guidance, financial support, and compassionate community.
Our team includes parents who have lived this journey after a non-fatal drowning — and now help others find clarity, connection, and hope.
Non-Fatal Drowning: What Families Face
These statistics highlight why early access to therapy, equipment, and support changes outcomes:
For every child who dies from drowning, at least five more require emergency care for non-fatal drowning.

This is why early intervention, specialized therapies, and coordinated care matter — and why families turn to P1C.

How Project One Cause Helps
Guidance & Connection
Families meet with Parent Mentors who understand the medical, emotional, and financial challenges ahead. We help them make sense of new terminology, treatment options, and next steps.
Financial Support for Therapies & Equipment
We help bridge the financial gap for therapies, adaptive equipment, and essential interventions that support long-term recovery.
Access to Trusted Providers
P1C partners with therapy centers, clinicians, and organizations who understand drowning-related brain injuries — making it easier for families to get high-quality care.
Community & Partnerships
Whether through financial contributions, corporate support, clinical partnerships, or foundation grants — Project One Cause thrives because others choose to stand with families.
Your gift goes directly to removing barriers for families.
Because drowning recovery is long-term, even small monthly donations create steady support for therapies, equipment, and the moments that help a child move forward.
Thank you for giving with trust — your generosity makes an immediate and measurable impact.
