WHY FLI? - Our Story

In my 20 plus years of experience as an engineer working with the disabled community funding has always been both the first and largest hurdle an individual has in receiving assistive technology. I can not count how many times I have heard "that's not necessary" when recommending independent access for everyday items such as kitchen lights or a front door. And even when funding is available people I work with often have to wait months or years to get equipment.

After constant frustration and fighting I decided to form For Living Independence, a private charity, geared towards assistive technology. and working together with our partners and private tax deductible donations to hopefully rectify the size of that funding hurdle as best I can and provide some priceless self reliance to as many individuals as possible.

Thank you for your time and help,
