The NTAF Emergency Grant Program
The National Transplant Assistance Fund and Catastrophic Injury organization provides help to families who face an unexpected need for financial help. This could be due to issues relating to a transplant or for those who have suffered a severe injury, which covers spinal cord injuries. They offer grants to individuals towards adaptive equipment, such as modified vehicles, and help co-ordinate fundraising efforts in the local community to cover uninsured expenses caused by the injury.
These spinal cord injury grants and loans programs are all worth investigation to see if you can qualify for some help. All of them offer either individual loans or grants that can be put towards major expenses such as adapted vehicles. If you or your family needs help due to an injury then consider these programs carefully.
