**MOBILE USERS: You can toggle between the tabs "Details" and "Supporters" at the top of the page above "DONATE HERE" to view details, event messages and tools.

Imagine not being able to leave the hospital - or even your own home - because you can’t secure a wheelchair, rollator, or hospital bed.

Having the proper medical mobility device can:
Reduce fall rates and repeat hospital visits
Shorten hospital stays
Help manage Medicaid gaps
Improve quality of life for individuals and caregivers

At Assist ME, our vision is to bridge poverty and insurance gaps by empowering lives through mobility.
Healthcare coverage changes are coming — and they’ll hit our most vulnerable neighbors hardest. We’re preparing now, but we need your help to make sure no one is left waiting for the mobility devices they deserve.

Help Assist ME meet and exceed our Giving Tuesday goal!

Every dollar helps us say “yes” to those in need.

Our Giving Tuesday goal is $15,000, which will help us meet the anticipated surge in requests in 2026 as healthcare coverage options shrink and the need for donated medical equipment rises sharply.

Give today so we can stay ready to respond.

Community Impact

Sadly, 11% of adults aged 18–64 in Mecklenburg County live without insurance.

In 2024, Assist ME helped 1,200 patients with almost 2,000 mobility devices.
75% of those served were under the age of 65, including children.
As of October 1, 2025, Assist ME has already served 1,500 patients, and expect to reach or exceed 1,800 recipients by year-end.

Whether someone is healing from an accident or surgery, managing independence due to chronic conditions, or navigating end-of-life care with dignity — Assist ME is here to ensure their needs are met.

Your support strengthens our ability to meet the growing community need in 2026 and beyond.

Community Support

Not every item can be donated. What we don’t receive from individuals and partners, we purchase new.

Our most highly depleted items include:

Wheelchairs (all sizes)
Rollators
Tub transfer benches
Power scooters and power wheelchairs
Donations to acquire specialty items such as sit-to-stand lifts, hospital bed mattresses, or brand/model-specific power chair/scooter batteries

With your help, Assist ME can continue to grow alongside the needs of our community.
