Affordable Wheelchair Repair for all of Oakland Skip to main Content

Our Wheelchair Repair Program can now serve Oakland

News Post

by Trevor Jacobson | Jul 21, 2023 | Special Announcement

Be Advised, this is currently a temporary pilot program. We have a finite amount of grant funds for Oakland repairs and we have yet to identify a permanent source of funding for this program.

I've been waiting a few months to write this, very pleased to be able to confirm that the rumors are true, Easy Does It is now offering affordable Wheelchair Repair to the entire City of Oakland.

One of the most common concerns cited by community members is the restriction of Easy Does It's Services to the City of Berkeley. As an agency, we're hard at work addressing this and are starting to see results. Above all else, we strive to ensure that our services are affordable, but this requires us to seek out funding and grants that restrict how we can do business. But thanks to a generous grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeves Foundation, we have secured the necessary funding to operate within Oakland. 

To get started, fill out the Apply Online Form and we'll follow up with you shortly after to complete enrollment. We look forward to providing The Town with quality, affordable, Wheelchair Repair.
