WMCA Community Kickstart

01/27/2025

WMCA would like to announce that for the time being, Community Kickstart applications will be closed while we reimagine how the program will best work.

You can still sign up to be a Kickstarter, and we will resume applications once we have had a chance to revamp the process.

Stay Tuned!

Here is our first of the new "update" emails we will send on Mondays to let you know our progress on the prior weeks request.  As a quick reminder, we are working with an elderly gentleman who is currently sleeping on a leaking air mattress, and by the time he wakes up, he is on the floor. He walk...

We are working with an elderly gentleman who recently secured housing.  He is currently sleeping on a leaking air mattress, and by the time he wakes up, he is on the floor.  This is causing back issues and making it hard to move around the following day.  He walks or rides his bike to get around,...
