The Assistance Fund (TAF) is an independent charitable patient assistance organization that helps patients and families facing high medical out-of-pocket costs by providing financial assistance for their copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and other health-related expenses. We currently manage nearly 90 disease programs, each of which covers all FDA-approved treatment for the disease named in the program. Since 2009, TAF has helped nearly 180,000 people access critical treatment for life-threatening, chronic, and rare diseases.

There is also a great resource to a regular wheelchair
(non-electric). If you’d like to apply for a free wheelchair from the Wheelchair Foundation (https://www.wheelchairfoundation.org/).

The free wheelchair would be lightweight, manual and weighs 50lbs (it can only hold up to 240lbs),
you may find a picture of it here: https://www.wheelchairfoundation.org/programs/wheelchair-360/

If you are interested, the first step would be to send an email to Jeff Juri at Jjuri@wheelchairfoundation.org, requesting paperwork (form and waiver). Once you've completed the paperwork, you will need to send over the completed form and proof of lifetime (not short-term) mobility need for a wheelchair. In this case, he explained it can be a Doctor's prescription stating that the individual requires a wheelchair because of Parkinson’s Disease and/or other medical conditions.

The Assistive Technology Loan Program helps Maryland residents with disabilities and their families qualify for low-interest loans to buy equipment that will help them live, work, and learn more independently. ·
