The Mobility Independence Foundation Inc

mount upton, New York

Cause Description:
We will deliver community based individualized mobility equipment solutions that are open source and easily repaired. Our experts in disability issues, mechanical engineering, advanced welding techniques, design, and software are working hard on our first product line. This modernized, fully customizable, and modular power wheelchair design will meet the needs of those in urban, suburban, and rural lifestyles alike. We’re here to bring real solutions to real problems affecting real people today. With your support you can join us in becoming part of the solution and a part of the movement. Project 1: currently underway, is a remote team of experts from various backgrounds who are testing and disseminating concepts and technologies with which to produce the above-described power wheelchair designs. This process includes developing ever-ready information resources for building, maintaining, and repairing the design. Project 2: once designs are finalized and parts sourcing secured, will be to identify individuals in need of the equipment and build teams around them to both build and customize the equipment to the individual’s specific needs. We will conduct outreach to existing institutions such as universities and other local organizations to build these teams around users of the equipment who will be left with a network of more local and timely resources for repairs or future modifications. Project 3: increasing availability, we will then seek manufacturers to lease designs to for proliferation. While they’ll be allowed to profit, the lease will require the donation of equipment directed by The Mobility Independence Foundation Inc. Others may choose to follow a not-for-profit model where all profits are invested in the businesses stated goals and we will negotiate their contracts as necessary to proliferate the user centric designs we create. Project 4: beginning during initial outreach to universities and other organizations, we will seek those looking to solve similar mobility equipment issues and offer them an avenue similar to projects 1-3 listed above. As our growth and number of products continue to increase, we believe this can become a self-sustaining model for meeting specialized needs around the world.
