Jenny Lola Jenny
Hi, my name is Jenny Way (my art name is "Lola"). I am 24 years old and have anoxic brain injury from abusing drugs (huffing Scotchgard) back when I was 19. After I got out of the hospital, my parents were told that the only place the people at the hospital could think of for me to live was an Alzheimer’s type nursing home because my memory was so bad. I couldn’t remember things from one minute to the next and would get very disoriented, confused and lost!

Instead of putting me in a nursing home, they found out about BRAIN BOOK® System’s program. I lived in a foster home for a while and I am now living in my own apartment and taking care of many things I need to do day-to-day. I am happy to share my story with you and tell you how I use my new “paper brain.”

Take a look at my art!
