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!
