Mobility For All Award Ceremony - July 12, 2009
Mobility For All is happy to announce that on July 12, 2009 funds were awared to three individuals who were in need of accessible driving equipment. We gave each of the three recipients an award of $1000 to improve their level of independence. Our recipients were Lori Flores, DeVoe Mack, and Vi Schultz.

Lori Flores - is from Pueblo, Colorado and was injured in a car accident in 1996. Lori enjoys being with her family and friends and being involved with her church. She especially likes to give cooking instructions to others. With the funding Lori received from Mobility for All, she has been able to purchase a used accessible van that will allow her to get to work and to doctor appointments at Craig Hospital in Denver. |
| Devoe Mack - resides in Lakewood, Colorado. In 1993 he suffered a gunshot wound to the neck and was paralyzed at the C5-C6 level of his spinal cord. However, his disability does not limit him, it inspires him. He recently obtained his real estate license and wants to help people find accessible housing. With the donation he received from Mobility for All, Devoe has purchased an accessible van in order to transport himself and his clients to look at their future homes. |  |

Vi Schultz - lives in Denver, Colorado. She was born missing a bone in each arm and without hip sockets. She uses a wheelchair on a daily basis for pain management. Vi is very active in the acting community and is a member of Magic Moments, Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, and PHAMALY. She is also looking to start her own business where she will provide pet sitting, house sitting, and child care services. Funding provided by Mobility for All will help Vi purchase a lift for her van allowing her to work and get to doctor appointments. |
Congratulations to our three recipients! We are so happy that we could provide financial assistance to enhance their independence. As an organization, we would like to continue to provide financial assistance to individuals such as Lori, DeVoe and Vi. In order to improve the independence of more individuals we need your support.
