Helping Restore Ability (HRA) is a nonprofit organization that supports low-income individuals with disabilities of all ages by providing critical in-home care services that allow them to maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life. HRA was established in 1977 and we continue to serve our clients by delivering personal attendant care, long-term support, and specialized home health services. We ensure that children and adults with disabilities can continue living in their homes, attending school, and working, while preventing the need for institutional care.

Our Impact:

  • 1,050 clients served annually
  • 98% of clients live at or below the poverty line
  • 2,500 trained caregivers providing essential support
  • 50% reduction in emergency room visits and nearly 100% reduction in hospitalizations for clients since 2019

HRA's programs also serve veterans with disabilities, helping them access crucial benefits such as the VA Aid and Attendance (A&A) program, enabling them to receive care at home without navigating complex VA systems. Helping Restore Ability offers quality caregiving services for veterans, their spouses, and surviving spouses in Collin, Ellis, Dallas, Tarrant, and Denton Counties. We are deeply grateful to Women Insipring Philanthropy for their generous support and commitment to our mission.  Their funding, specifically for veterans in Arlington, Texas, plays a vital role in advancing our work and expanding our impact within the community.  

Why Your Support Matters:

  • Caregiver shortage: Your donations help recruit and retain qualified caregivers, allowing them to earn livable wages and full benefits.
  • Preventing institutionalization: Without HRA, over 1,000 individuals would face the risk of moving to nursing homes or inpatient facilities.
  • Supporting veterans: Allowing veterans, their spouses, and surviving spouses the freedom to live in their home with independence.

By donating to HRA, you are directly contributing to improving the lives of people with disabilities, helping them stay healthy, independent, and connected to their communities. Together, we can continue to meaningfully impact the most vulnerable populations.
