Mission Statement
Peer Support Network exists to aid in improving the quality of life for adults between the ages of 18 and 65 years with acquired disabilities. Support is provided through financial, material, and time donations, utilizing a peer to peer platform, and is based on individual needs. Our vision is to develop a network of individuals committed to enabling a higher quality of life for individuals and families suffering from acquired disabilities who are unable to meet their own financial and material needs.
Description
There are many gaps in healthcare in the United States. One of these is availability of resources for adults who have acquired a disability between the ages of 18 and 65 and have limited family or financial support. It is our goal to assist individuals who find themselves in this situation. Peer Support Network is a peer to peer charity, where clients are selected based on application and a needs profile and are matched with donors who are interested in pledging time, goods, or money to assist them.
