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.

GET HELP
GIVE NOW

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.

  • Non-fatal drowning can result in long-term cognitive, motor, and emotional impairments.

  • Recovery outcomes vary widely, and prompt access to therapy significantly improves long-term potential.

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