Thank you Dwayne for picking up all this equipment for your patients. We're sure it'll make all the difference.
Thank you Valerie for picking up this equipment for your son. We're always happy to help out anyone in the community.
Thank @tvbrad for all your support! Happy to have you with us!
I’m so proud to be on the Board of @SupportD4D. We recycle durable medical goods. Got an old wheelchair? Someone needs it. I was inspired by this dinner last night. Big things to come.
Help us out.

This is such an awesome idea. Big shoutout to @kovaldistillery for this!
Koval has added an ASL tour and braille menu options at its Ravenswood distillery and taproom: “We want to figure out ways for people to have a good time, and part of that is making sure that good time is accessible." buff.ly/3oaL3Nc
Thank you Fran for coming in. We hope this equipment will help your daughter live her life to the fullest.
Hey @Cubs, take another look at those renovations and if you want to avoid any more lawsuits, we can help! Give us a 📞!

This is another family that Bob and Connie met down in Durango. The daughter has Cerebral Palsy and has never had a wheelchair before. When they were about to leave, she took Bob's hand and her mother said "she's saying Thank you."
Look at this wonderful note that was sent to Bob Shea and Concepción Favela, thanking for their continued efforts to bring accessibility to Durango. Sending a big hug to our friends at ALFIDAC!
At D4D, our mission is to give back to the community. This woman had her wheelchair stolen while she was getting a medical treatment and the replacement provided to her was not suitable for her needs. We were so happy to provide her with a much more appropriate chair.
While down in Durango, our team got to meet many wonderful families. We brought a new wheelchair for the boy in this picture and look at that smile. This is why we do what we do.
