Our new agency Transit Van is helping Independence First reach more people where they are. Thanks to generous grants and donations from community partners, this van will be out in the community more often delivering outreach, supporting in-person programming, and powering our new Assistive Technology Re-use, Repair, and Refurbishment program.
Because of your support, Independence First can bring resources, technology, and independence directly to people with disabilities across southeastern Wisconsin.
Independence First is planning to purchase a new Honda CR-V (or similar model) to support our growing outreach and service programs. This vehicle will help staff travel to community events, consumer homes, and partner organizations across southeastern Wisconsin bringing vital information, resources, and assistive technology directly to the people who need them.
Your donation helps keep our team mobile and responsive, expanding our reach and ensuring that independence is possible for everyone.
Denise has been Mike’s caregiver through Independence First for more than 18 years. Their bond goes beyond care, Denise calls Mike her adopted son, and Mike says, “She’s like a mother to me.”
Both credit Independence First for connecting them and providing the support they need. Denise and Mike are just one example of the hundreds of people building meaningful connections through our Personal Assistance Services program.
