This device, built by volunteers, allows a woman with the use of only one arm to keep her pot steady on her stove while she stirs.
Volunteers developed an arm Christine can use to transfer in and out of her wheelchair independently. Five years and 3 wheelchairs later, she still uses the arm.
Volunteers from Lockheed Martin created a swing arm for their colleague’s wheelchair joystick so he could access his desk.
Volunteers modified Trish’s crib so she could place her baby in it by herself.
Volunteers adapted this man’s tools so he could use them with his prosthetics.
John’s contorted leg doesn’t allow him to fit in commercially available wheelchairs. He remained in his bed for 15 years until a volunteer heard his story and built him a wheelchair he could use.
I’m with the living. ~ John after joining his housemates in the living room thanks to his new wheelchair
Volunteers built Iraq War veteran Sgt. Kessler specialized attachments for his prosthetics so he could return to rock climbing.
Nancy can work more comfortably in her home office thanks to a group of volunteers from Johns Hopkins University.
Robbie can swing in his wheelchair now, thanks to a group of volunteers.
This scooter was modified by a volunteer so that a six-year-old boy who cannot walk for long distances could use it. Now, he no longer has to ride in a stroller when the family goes out on the weekends.
[The scooter] has given him such a sense of interdependence and pride. The comments from the public as he goes whizzing by are ‘wow that is so cool, where can I find one?’ This makes him feel like a million bucks! ~Mom
