Adaptive Equipment

Organization Mission:

Our Mission at The Freedom Center for Independent Living is to empower persons with disabilities by enabling them to gain effective control and direction over their own lives.

Many people with disabilities have equipment needs that are not covered by their insurance and are too costly for them to purchase outright given their budget.  Often the inability to acquire this equipment adversely affects the person's ability to live independently or it affects their quality of life.   The Freedom Center works with clients to find a source to fill these needs, however, there are times when a funding source is not available, so The Freedom Center will aid the client in purchasing the necessary item(s).  Current grant funding does not cover these needs, so private donations are required to fund these efforts.  

Your donation would help cover items like adaptive clothing, safety equipment, adaptive kitchen tools/devices, technology devices, etc. that the individual or family are unable to afford, however, these devices would allow the individual to live independently.
