The partnership between A Place At Home North Austin and ShareTheWill Foundation has resulted in the donation of more than 34 power wheelchairs, scooters, hospital beds, and other essential medical equipment to veterans and individuals across Central Texas communities. This collaborative effort addresses critical mobility needs while promoting independence and dignity for recipients.
For Stacey Eisenberg, owner of A Place At Home North Austin, this initiative carries personal significance. When a medical lending library in the Austin and Round Rock area closed last year, she felt compelled to help fill the resulting gap in community support. This motivation led to the partnership with ShareTheWill Foundation, allowing both organizations to expand their reach and impact.
Compassion and service drive our actions, Eisenberg stated. When we identify community needs, we take immediate action. This commitment represents a family priority, with our children playing instrumental roles in the donation process. Our collaboration with Will and ShareTheWill Foundation enables us to extend comfort, dignity, and mobility to more deserving individuals.
Will Williams, a 26-year Army Ranger veteran who founded the ShareTheWill Foundation, emphasized their inclusive approach to community support. While veterans remain a primary focus, the organization assists any community member in need. This philosophy aligns with their broader mission of charitable giving and volunteer service.
The recent event celebrated the donation of a power scooter to a local veteran and a power wheelchair to another community member, demonstrating how community partnerships create tangible improvements in quality of life. These donations address practical mobility challenges while reinforcing social support networks.
This initiative matters because mobility equipment represents more than physical assistance—it enables independence, reduces social isolation, and improves overall quality of life for recipients. For veterans who may face unique health challenges, such support acknowledges their service while addressing practical needs. The program also demonstrates how local organizations can effectively collaborate to address community gaps when public resources are limited.
The impact extends beyond individual recipients to strengthen community resilience. By repurposing medical equipment that might otherwise go unused, the program promotes environmental sustainability while addressing urgent human needs. The involvement of multiple generations, including Eisenberg's children, models community engagement for younger residents.
Both organizations maintain active community involvement beyond mobility equipment donations. A Place At Home North Austin provides compassionate in-home care and senior living alternatives throughout Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Hutto, Pflugerville, and surrounding communities. The ShareTheWill Foundation supports numerous community programs, including sponsoring Thanksgiving meals, assisting families during Christmas, and partnering with organizations like Honor Flight Austin, Fields of Honor, and Stranger Danger classes.
This ongoing partnership demonstrates how localized efforts can create meaningful change through consistent, compassionate action. By addressing both immediate equipment needs and broader community support, these organizations contribute to a more inclusive and supportive Central Texas community where mobility challenges don't limit participation or dignity.
