About the J Field Foundation

The J Field Foundation provides hope and directions for the hundreds of thousands of physically and mentally challenged people who face the same massive challenges that the founder, Jennifer Field, has confronted in her life.

Jennifer sustained a life changing severe head injury in an automobile accident when she was seventeen years old. Her journey from a lengthy deep coma to her graduation magna cum laude, culminating in her full and balanced life today has become a shining light to so many.

Today through the J Field Foundation’s various activities Jennifer and her team are committed to giving back to others. She delivers her message of hope and inspiration to public, corporate and institutions and schools audience across the country through her one woman show, A Distant Memory. This show portrays Jennifer’s purposeful odyssey from her coma, through endless years of hard work and therapies, to her life today in Santa Monica, California. Recently Jennifer has developed, with her mother, Joanne Field, a branch of her foundation called Bright Steps: “The Tiniest of steps can mean the greatest change.” This division of the foundation donates funds to help brain injured individuals to partake of some of the alternative therapies that insurance does not cover. We feel that these selected therapies that helped Jennifer so much should be available to more brain injury survivors. If you or a family member is a head injury survivor, or you are a caregiver or advocate for a brain injured individual who may benefit from an alternative therapy geared towards the rehabilitation of the effects of a brain injury, the J Field Foundation and Bright Steps can help.
