    Victoria's Victory Foundation VVF is a 501 C 3 dedicated to providing assistance with the day to day needs of those living with spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and other mobility related disabilities caused by an injury or diagnosis.

    This company is also a non-profit but they help provide individuals with additional assistive devices. For example, a person may have a wheelchair for everyday use, but he/she would like to play basketball recreationally, and needs a different wheelchair to support that dream. They also do so much more, but this is just one example.
