Personal Aid Program
ILAN’s Personal Aid Program assists individuals and their families to surmount the great financial burden that a neuromuscular disability imposes on the disabled person and on the entire family. Many of the people that ILAN helps are at the low end of the socio-economic spectrum, and thus are already in considerable financial distress. For these low-income families, the cost of buying a motorized wheelchair, stabilizers, and walking frames − to say nothing of the sophisticated equipment needed by persons with communication and verbal impairments, such as a computer and alternative communication software – would be prohibitive were they not to receive financial assistance.
The 2014 Gaza Conflict seriously jeopardized ILAN’s programs, and the Israeli government has had to cut back its support as it re-directs funds to deal with internal strife and a contracted economy. Especially hurt are the families who struggle daily to meet the needs of their disabled loved ones. Please consider making a gift to ILAN’s Personal Aid Program, a gift that will go directly to helping these families. A contribution of $516 will buy a set of braces; $1,650 will buy a light wheelchair; a computer with special communication software costs $6,710 and a motorized wheelchair; $19,355. The need is great, and as you can see, rehabilitation accessories are expensive.
