🔹UPDATE: Oh my goodness! Nearly 46,000 views, 200 shares, and more comments than we can keep up with! We never imagined this post would reach so many people that we would need to clarify a few things!🔹
Shady Strong is a small nonprofit located in Upstate New York, serving families impacted by ALS throughout New York and Northeastern Pennsylvania.
These wheelchairs were donated to us by families who lost loved ones to ALS and wanted their equipment to continue helping others.
We do not sell these chairs. We do not rent them. We give them to families who need them. That’s who we are and what our mission is all about.
While we wish we could help everyone across the country, we are a small organization with limited resources and a regional service area.
🔹5 POWER WHEELCHAIRS NEED HOMES! 🔹
Did you know that motorized wheelchairs can cost $30,000–$75,000 or more?
Yet, one of the biggest challenges we face at Shady Strong is finding new homes for these incredible pieces of equipment when they’re no longer needed.
Right now, we have FIVE power wheelchairs sitting in storage.
These chairs can mean independence, mobility, and freedom for someone living with ALS.
But sitting in storage? They’re not helping anyone!
đź’™ We need YOUR help! đź’™
Please SHARE this post! Somewhere out there is someone who could benefit from one of these chairs, and you might be the connection that helps us find them.
If you know someone living with ALS who needs a power wheelchair, please reach out!
These chairs were made to move people, not collect dust!
