Meet Linda, a client of Crotched Mountain Community Care (CMCC). She recently received a new power wheelchair thanks to the hard work of Dave, her CMCC case manager. Dave pieced together funding through a special grant applied for and distributed by Crotched Mountain Foundation as well as community grant programs from Womenaid and Easter Seals to help her pay for functions of the chair that weren’t covered by insurance (for example, the seat riser, which Linda shows off in the picture).
“She wanted the seat riser so she could talk to people face to face as well as access different parts of her apartment,” Dave says.
What’s even niftier? Linda’s favorite color is purple – most things in her apartment are purple – so she was thrilled to get her new power chair in purple (special-ordered even!).
Now Linda is able to remain independent and in her community through the expert and life-changing work of CMCC!
