Meet Ava! 💡
Thanks to the Family Resource Network’s Assistive Technology and Home Modifications program, Ava now has a fully accessible bathroom that has truly transformed daily life for her and her family. Her parents shared how grateful they are for this safe and functional space, explaining that it has made caregiving easier, eliminated the need to constantly adapt, and created an environment she absolutely loves.
These thoughtful home adaptations allow Ava to move through her space more comfortably and with greater independence.
We work with individuals and families to provide tools and home modifications that make daily life safer, easier, and more empowering.
