Volunteer Spotlight- Meet Steve

This week we want to do something a little different and feature one of our amazing volunteers Steve. Steve has helped us with more things than we can list, including helping us maintain equipment, helping our long time client Clement to the airport the last time he was in town, and recently building us a new ramp. We are so grateful for everything Steve, and all of our volunteers have done for us. We wouldn’t be where we are today without them!

Client Spotlight- Meet Frank

While a lot of times we donate actual mobility devices, sometimes we donate smaller parts or even just educate person with disabilities that need help. Recently one of our amazing staff members, Ron, helped out a new client who inherited a Power Wheel Chair from his family after his sister passed away. Frank spent $200 on new batteries for his chair, but realized he was unable to change them himself. His neighbor, a current client of ours, passed along our information and after a quick visit we were able to help him get the batteries installed. Its always great when our clients recommend us to others in need!

Did you see us on eightWest?

Last Friday, Coleen and special guest’s Tommy and his Mother had the opportunity to appear on eightWest. While on the show they were able to talk about our mission here at AIM as well as our newest fundraising effort. Currently, Alternatives in Motion is raising money to purchase a newer van to pick up and deliver mobility equipment and to bring to equipment maintenance pop-up events, which we are hoping to be able to host more of in the future. Our current 16 year old van enables us to do 90% of our work, however its current condition has left us desperate to find a newer one. If you would like to help us purchase this newer vehicle, please visit our Generosity page.

Coleen is On TV– Cecil Feature

It’s not just something we do- it’s a way of living. From seniors to small children, we’re changing lives by improving their quality of life through mobility equipment.

Client Spotlight– Meet Cecil!

Recently, we were able to help out Cecil, who has COPD. Cecil was ineligible to receive a new chair through his insurance since his current one was only 3 years old, however, all the tires on his chair were completely bald and the chair had a slew of other issues. Luckily, we were able to get him a new Pronto Power Chair, which should make getting around much easier. Cecil’s uses his chair to get back and forth to his local Walmart so he can buy his groceries, which is why his tires wore so quickly, however, without it, he would have no way to get there. 

Coleen on Eight West

Our Executive Director Coleen will be on Eight West on Wood TV 8 this Friday at 11am. Tune in to hear about what we have going on here at Alternatives in Motion. 

Funding our Van

While we are extremely grateful for the $170 donated so far, we still need to raise over $30,000 to afford the type of van we need to continue helping children like Dorval and others who we deliver equipment to. Without this van, we would be unable to help 90% of our clients.

Donate Now!

Save the Date!

Our annual AIM High Endurance Awards are quickly approaching. This year they will be held on November 8th. If you would like to nominate someone for an award shoot us an email!
