That Rainbow Again

Ain't it just like a human

A resource and community for stroke survivors, caregivers, and families — built by a survivor who knows this road from the inside.

The Story

Built from lived experience

On New Year's Eve 2024, our founder Aaron suffered a stroke. A month in the hospital. A year away from work. Countless hours of PT, OT, and neurological rehabilitation.


Through it all, one thing was painfully clear: there is no single, trusted place for survivors and their families to find what they need — treatments, guidance, community, and hope.


That Rainbow Again exists to fill that gap. Not as a medical provider, but as a guide built by someone who has walked this road and knows what it's like to search for answers when everything has changed.

When you come out of a stroke, nobody hands you a roadmap. You're left piecing together your new life from fragments — a pamphlet here, a referral there. Survivors deserve better than that.
Aaron — Founder, Stroke Survivor

What We're Building

The resource survivors wish existed on day one

A free, accessible platform designed for the realities of life after stroke — plain language, one-handed navigation, and honest guidance at every step.

🧠

What's Happening to Me

Plain-language explainers on stroke types, brain impact, and why recovery works the way it does. No medical jargon, no confusion.

🗺️

What to Expect

Honest, realistic timelines and milestones. No false promises, no doom — just the truth about what recovery looks like.

💡

What Are My Possibilities

Treatments, therapies, and devices you might not know exist. From VNS therapy to robotic rehab — what's out there and how to access it.

📋

Practical Guides

Returning to work. Talking to your doctor. Navigating insurance. The real-world challenges nobody prepares you for.

🤝

Community

Connection with others who understand. Survivors, caregivers, and families sharing what works, what doesn't, and what keeps them going.

❤️

For Caregivers Too

Resources for the people who show up every day. Managing burnout, finding support, and knowing you're not alone in this either.

Behind the Name

Here comes that rainbow again

The name comes from a Kris Kristofferson song — inspired by a scene from Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath — about quiet, unexpected acts of human kindness between strangers.


A waitress lies about the price of candy so two kids can afford it. Truck drivers overtip to cover her generosity. She calls after them — "Hey, you left too much money." They call back — "So what's it to you?"


Nobody makes a speech. Nobody asks for credit. That's just what humans do — they show up for each other, quietly, without being asked. That kind of kindness is the foundation of this project. Survivors helping survivors. Strangers who understand what you're going through because they've been there too.


But there's something deeper in the chorus. Something every stroke survivor knows in their bones:

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder

With the smell of the rain on the wind

Ain't it just like a human

Here comes that rainbow again

The storm is real. The dark clouds are right there — you can see them, feel them, smell the rain coming. Nobody's pretending otherwise.


But ain't it just like a human — to look at those same heavy skies and know the rainbow is on the other side. Not because we're naive. Because that's what we do. We find hope inside the heaviness. We look at the storm and see what comes after it.


That's this project. You're in the storm. We know. But here comes that rainbow again.

"Here Comes That Rainbow Again"

Kris Kristofferson, 1981

Johnny Cash called it "my favorite song by any writer of our time."
