United Spinal Association’s Ready to Roll program, in partnership with the Nielsen Foundation, is standing by to provide disaster relief to wheelchair users affected by the wildfires that have ravaged Maui.
To apply for disaster relief from United Spinal, you must:
- Be a person with a spinal cord injury or a wheelchair user who has been affected by the Hawaii wildfires.
- Have a financial need.
- Be able to provide documentation of your disability and financial need.
We were able to assist Greg Nichols after Hurricane Ida. We hope to help Maui’s wheelchair users rebuild, too. Here is more information on how to apply.
