Meet some of our clients!
Meet Teri!
Teri has been a client of ours for about three years. She had been involved in a car accident, and lost her form of transportation. Due to the accident, she no longer had a vehicle to get around; she could not drive, and needed physical therapy to help her get stronger. Without reliable transportation, Teri would not have been able to attend all her medical appointments. With the help of Travelers Aid, Teri was able to attend her medical appointments, and—most importantly—physical therapy. Teri now uses public transit and walks independently without the assistance of a cane or walker!
