ATLANTA – Friends of Disabled Adults and Children (FODAC), a non-profit organization, is partnering with Amazon and UPS to provide crucial medical supplies to victims of the devastating wildfires that swept through Maui on August 8, leaving many residents struggling to access essential health care equipment. FODAC swiftly mobilized its resources and reached out to various partners for assistance. "We believe that everyone deserves independence and an improved quality of life," said Chris Brand, spokesperson for FODAC. "By working alongside organizations like Amazon and UPS, we are able to extend our reach beyond Atlanta's borders and make a meaningful impact on communities affected by unforeseen disasters." FODAC specializes in providing mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, patient lifts, standers, hospital beds, shower chairs, transport chairs, rollators and other vital equipment crucial for individuals with disabilities. Its team has successfully managed to collect a substantial quantity of these much-needed supplies within their warehouse facilities and repackaged them for overseas travel through UPS' transportation services. FODAC says the generosity of Amazon and other partners has made it possible for these essential items to reach their destination safely and expeditiously.
