PROJECT MEND TRANSFORM LIVES

Mobility and independence are basic human rights.

People living with disabilities often have limited choices when faced with the need for expensive medical equipment. Project MEND provides compassionate solutions. We offer medical equipment and assistive technology to individuals who cannot afford the items they need or are faced with gaps in their insurance coverage.

This service is critical.

The right piece of equipment at the right moment in time promotes independence and improves quality of life for the recipient and their caregivers.

SERVICES 

Medical Equipment Reuse Program

We serve children and aging adults; veterans, their spouses and children; and the homeless. We serve individuals living with disability and life-altering illness, regardless of your situation. We serve those who are economically challenged, unemployed, uninsured, or experiencing gaps in their coverage.

We serve people.

What we do is simple. Through our Medical Equipment Reuse program, we take in donations of gently used medical equipment, and repair, refurbish, sanitize, and distribute it to Texans in need. We are committed to improving quality of life for persons living with disability and illness in Texas – and their caregivers – by providing more medical equipment to more people.
