$10,000 Goal

REACH Resource Centers for Independent Living is different from many other organizations that assist people with disabilities. First and foremost, REACH is peer-based. This means that the staff and governing board of directors is composed primarily of people, who are themselves disabled. This is important because those setting policy and providing services have personal knowledge and experience with the obstacles and issues that may arise as a result of one’s disability. Secondly, REACH provides services to any individual living in the counties of Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, or Denton regardless of their race, age, or the type of disability they may have. Third, REACH assistance is free of charge.

Every Gift Creates Independence

Your donation provides more than essential equipment and supplies. It restores dignity, confidence, and peace of mind when they're needed most.

At REACH, we see the impact of your generosity every day. Alberto, one of the individuals we serve, shared:

“I am thankful to find this place. We no longer have insurance and have to buy everything out of pocket, diapers, wipes, and all his needs. This is really helping us. Thank you!”

For Alberto and his family, access to the necessities eased a difficult burden during a challenging time. Stories like his remind us that a simple gift can provide comfort, hope, and stability. Whether it's hygiene supplies, mobility equipment, safety devices, or daily living aids, your donation helps make independence possible for those who need it most.


REACH is here to support individuals with disabilities through a variety of free services and resources:
  • Information & Referral: Anyone can reach out to REACH for guidance, information, and referrals related to disability services and support.
  • Medical Equipment Donations: Gently used medical equipment is available at no cost to individuals who need it.
  • Peer Support: We offer both individual and group support to empower people with disabilities through shared experiences and encouragement.
  • Home Accessibility Modifications: Residents with mobility challenges may qualify for assistance with installing ramps, grab bars, and other modifications to improve home accessibility.
  • Workshops & Training: We provide educational sessions on a wide range of independent living topics to promote self-sufficiency and confidence.
