💙 Give the Gift of Mobility. Change a Life. 💙

At RiseUpFA, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to move with dignity and independence. Unfortunately, many individuals cannot afford the mobility equipment they need.

Because of generous donations, we currently have a walker, a power wheelchair, and a wheelchair lift available to provide to individuals in need—but the need doesn’t stop there.

Every donation, every share, and every act of kindness helps us continue our mission of providing life-changing mobility equipment to those who need it most.

If you’d like to support our mission or know someone who could benefit from these resources, please reach out.

💙 Donate. Share. Help Someone Rise Up.

Some days living with FA (or any rare disease) you feel like you could climb a mountain, other days this is the best you can give! 💪🏻

Remember.. you’re not alone!

Remember.. Disability doesn’t make friendship harder.. the WRONG people do. You’re not the issue because of your walker/wheelchair. Those that see it as an issue aren’t worth your time anyways!!
