A broken wheelchair isn't a small problem.

It's a missed doctor's appointment. A missed housing appointment. A week stuck inside.

For veterans, the VA has partnered with Scootaround to repair VA-issued wheelchairs, powerchairs, and scooters, no appointment or consult required. Central California Fresno is covered.

Mobility is what makes everything else reachable. If you know a veteran who could use this, pass it along.
