Aid for our Aging

Ability Found is seeking support to enhance its services to seniors in need of durable medical equipment. Seniors served by this program are living at or below the poverty level, making access to necessary equipment next to impossible. Seniors in need rely on Ability Found to locate, refurbish, deliver, install and/or fit durable medical equipment so they can enjoy a greater quality of life.

Every gift makes a difference...and your funds go a long way. With a donation of just $350, Ability Found is able to locate, deliver, install and provide instruction to a senior who is in need of two bathroom grab bars, a bedside commode, a shower chair and a wheeled walker. This is life-changing for these folks!

Support from the general public makes the work of Ability Found possible for seniors in West Valley City and surrounding communities. Please join Ability Found in its efforts to give our grandparents, parents, neighbors, and friends the safety, freedom and independence they so deserve. Your generosity is very much appreciated by the Ability Found staff, and the seniors they serve.

The Parkinson Association's Power Punch for Parkinson's Program

We are seeking funding for our quickly, and continually, expanding program: Power Punch for Parkinson's - Non Contact Boxing

The Parkinson Association's Power Punch for Parkinson's program is expanding at breakneck speed. At the beginning of 2015 one class was available. Currently there are 12 classes operating, serving up to 210 seniors weekly. We have a minimum four new locations, with at least one class, due to start in the next six months. Power Punch for Parkinson's is the most often requested service as the Association continues to expand services outside the Denver metro area. The cost of providing this service averages $125/week/class. While costly, the impact on the quality of life of those living with Parkinson's is remarkable; Individuals previously using canes and walkers are now able to walk without assistive devices.

The annual estimated costs for this program is $77,640 and we hoping to raise at least $10,000 through GIVE65 to support this program in 2016. Funds will be used to pay contract instructors (2 boxing instructors and 1 physical therapist per class) and also serve as an assistance fund for those individuals not able to pay the nominal fee.

Tech Allies

Tech Allies, a program that will connect 75 older adults, many homebound, to the Internet and provide them with devices and digital skills they need to use the Internet independently and safely. As a result, Tech Allies expects that seniors will experience decreased feelings of isolation and an increased sense of connection, empowerment and health.
