No Limits Eastern Shore

SPRING 2025 EQUIPMENT GRANT: Vehicle Purchase to Support Acquired Brain Injury Survivors
Grant Amount: $25,000
Reach: Survivors of acquired brain injury served through day support and case management programs
Project: ESVCF funding supported the purchase of a safe, reliable, and accessible vehicle to transport survivors of brain injury to medical appointments, therapy, community outings, and essential daily activities. The new Chevy Trax replaces an aging fleet vehicle with limited accessibility and outdated safety features.
Impact: The Trax has already improved members' ability to participate fully in community life. Its higher seating makes entering and exiting easier for individuals with balance or mobility challenges, and its modern safety features provide added security during transport. Staff report that the vehicle has been essential in maintaining continuity of services when other vehicles unexpectedly break down. As Executive Director Rachel Evans shared, the new vehicle ensures that members can still attend community activities even when older vehicles are out of service. This is a meaningful reassurance for those who rely on No Limits for connection, care, and independence.
Why It Matters: Reliable transportation is one of the greatest barriers for people living with acquired brain injury. This grant directly supports dignity, mobility, and community engagement by ensuring that survivors can safely access medical care, social programs, and everyday experiences that enrich their lives.
