We are often asked about resources that exist to help with funding or financing mobility equipment needs. Admittedly, the amazing technology that exists today that helps achieve mobility for those we love or care about can come at a high price tag. We are happy to share the information we are acquainted with, but we hope this information source will also help you find funding or assistance with mobility needs for our fellow Alaskans.
