Testimonials

  • "It's hard to narrow down the unlimited opportunities that FREED has offered me and others in our community"
    Rebecca Romero
  • "I want to thank FREED so much for all the work you have done to help me live safely in my home. Im overjoyed about the new ramp you built for me. Now I can ride my scooter right down the ramp to go outside and enjoy the outdoors. Without FREED, this would not have been possible as I am unable to afford to build one for myself."
