Inspiring Limitless Independence

The Neuro Assistance Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting spinal cord injured and disabled individuals in the Dallas/Fort Worth & Lubbock areas to achieve self-sufficiency and mobility through assistive vehicles, equipment, technology and home modifications. NAF provides the tools and assistance necessary for our clients to achieve limitless independence. Our services are a small investment in comparison to the independence and pride experienced by those we help. What greater gift can be given to someone whose mobility has been lost?

According to a recently released study initiated by the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, 1 in 50 Americans are living with paralysis. This is over 1 million more people than previously estimated. Nationwide, 5.6 million people are paralyzed and 1.3 million have a spinal cord injury. NAF is helping more people than ever before...Get Involved Today!

  • Kimberly

    "I want to thank you for the wheelchair you have lent me and tell you how it has impacted me. It enabled me to go to the therapy room and get PT & OT that I would not have had if I had been bed-bound. It enabled me to interact with other patients, which was very healing. I learned a card game from a gentleman - that was fun! He would ask the therapists if I was coming to therapy that day. The therapy room has lots of window and light which was a tremendous pick me up. The chair gave me independence. I was able to go outside and enjoy the courtyard and the fresh air. And the wheelchair gave me the privilege of eating my meals up in a chair. Thank you very much for what you have done for me"

    - Kimberly, age 54, living with quadriplegia
