Central Texas Partnership Provides 40th Mobility Device to Veterans Through Community Collaboration

The collaboration between A Place At Home - North Austin and ShareTheWill Foundation reached a significant milestone with the donation of the 40th motorized wheelchair to a Vietnam veteran during the Ninth Annual Field of Honor in Georgetown, Texas. This ongoing partnership continues to address mobility equipment shortages that emerged when a local medical lending closet closed two years ago, creating critical gaps in essential resources for Central Texas veterans and community members.

During the ceremony featuring more than 2,000 flags honoring military members and first responders, the organizations presented both a motorized wheelchair and a personalized quilt recognizing the veteran's service history. Stacey Eisenberg and her husband Bryan, co-owners of A Place At Home - North Austin, identified the need to ensure continued access to mobility equipment after the lending closet closure and partnered with ShareTheWill Foundation to maintain these vital community resources.

ShareTheWill Foundation, founded by 26-year Army veteran and former Ranger Will Williams, operates as an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff, directing every dollar and donated item directly toward community impact. The foundation supports initiatives ranging from mobility equipment to back-to-school backpacks, Thanksgiving meals, and Christmas family sponsorships, extending beyond veteran support to include seniors, caregivers, and families facing financial or mobility challenges throughout Central Texas.

Local businesses have strengthened the community effort, with Mobility City in Cedar Park contributing equipment for specific events. Williamson County Commissioner Russ Boles emphasized the significance of such partnerships, noting they demonstrate shared values through action rather than words. The Field of Honor itself, organized by the Rotary Club of Georgetown, provides a meaningful platform for recognizing community heroes through extensive flag displays and ceremonies. More information about the event is available at https://www.georgetownrotary.org.

Central Texas residents can participate in this support network by donating gently used medical equipment including scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, and lift chairs. Those needing mobility assistance can request equipment at no cost through the ShareTheWill Foundation, which maintains its commitment to ensuring no neighbor faces hardship alone. The organization directs all resources toward immediate community impact, creating a sustainable model for addressing mobility challenges that affect veterans' quality of life, independence, and access to essential services throughout the region.
