Story of the Month
Emma has been with On My Own since 2017 and suffers from heart disease and diabetes. She relies mostly on a rollator to get around on a daily basis. She received one through Medicaid over 7 years ago and has completely worn out the brake cables to a point where they are no longer safe for her to use. In order to get to and from doctor’s appointments, however, she requires the use of a wheelchair, which she just received through Medicaid. This means she will not qualify for a new rollator at this time. The recycle/reuse program through On My Own was able to provide her with a replacement so she can still get around on a daily basis while still having the security of owning a wheelchair for when she needs it. Emma can continue to live independently in her own home through the use of our services.
