DESCRIPTION:Â Friends of Man is a nonprofit that purchases essential items and services for individuals and families with mobility challenges who are facing financial hardship. Rather than providing cash, the organization pays vendors directly for approved needs. Assistance requires an application from a referring professional, and approval depends on eligibility and available funding.
SERVICES / PROGRAMS:
- Home Accessibility: Wheelchair ramps and limited bathroom modifications (no general home repairs or remodeling).
- Medical and Mobility Equipment: Wheelchairs, scooters, lift chairs, stairlifts, prostheses, hearing aids, and medically prescribed assistive technology.
- Other Assistance: Orthopedic braces and shoes, vehicle adaptations, and certain medical equipment.
RAMPS:
- Types: Wheelchair ramps, but materials/types are not specified.
- Availability: Accepting applications. Unknown if there is a waitlist.
- Cost: Unknown if Ramps are free, on-loan, or if there is cost-sharing.
A referring professional, such as a social worker, case manager, healthcare professional, or clergy member, must fill out a pre-application on the client’s behalf. Professionals can refer to the FAQ for more information. Applicants generally must have stable housing for at least three months and meet income requirements at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Once applications and documentation are received, requests may be processed in 2-3 weeks. Approved payments are made directly to the vendor.
