It can be difficult when you need something that's important to your quality of life but you don't have the means of receiving it. For instance, you may need a wheelchair or an accessible van, but you have no means to get them. There are ways to receive a donated wheelchair or an accessible van to help make your life easier. There are organizations that can arrange for a donated wheelchair or an accessible van to be delivered to your home. These organizations make it easier for you to get the supplies you need.
Instructions
1. Contact organizations that supply medical aid to individuals and inquire about getting a wheelchair or accessible van. Ask your physician or health care provider to give you the names of organizations that can help you.
