Members of the O&P Community,

I've learned recently that the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation is, once
again, offering Brighter Tomorrow grants to improve quality of life
for individuals with Multiple Sclerosis across the United States.

Please note that these grants are set aside uniquely for eligible
individuals, thus members of the O&P community engaged in orthotics may
wish to pass this announcement to interest clients.

Details are as follows. For complete information, visit the MS
Foundation web site:

The [Brighter Tomorrow] grant program is designed to improve the quality
of life of individuals with MS by providing goods or services (valued
at up to $1,000 per recipient) that enhance their safety,
self-sufficiency, comfort, and/or well-being. Recipients of Brighter
Tomorrow grants have received car repairs, ramps, wheelchairs, walkers,
eyeglasses, computers, appliances, televisions, furniture, therapeutic
equipment, hobby supplies, retreats, and various home modifications.

To qualify for a grant, applicants must be 18 years of age or older,
permanent U.S. resident, and be diagnosed with MS (or the parent of a
minor child diagnosed with MS). In addition, applicants must not have
any other means of ful- filling their request.

See the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation Web site for complete guidelines

Thanks very much.

Sincerely,

Jeff
