Do you help with medical or utility bills?

Sorry. We do not help with medical or utility bills.

​

Do you help with equipment or devices?

Yes! Depending on the equipment or device. We would consider ancillary equipment that your health insurance does not typically pay

for such as, a jogging stroller, adaptive bike caddie, adaptive swim float or funding to rent a beach wheelchair on vacation.  

 

What are differing abilities?

The term "differing abilities" is often used instead of "special needs" or "disabilities". The use of this term enhances the fact that everybody has unique abilities. Sometimes the word "disability" implies a lack of ability.
