Won’t you join our mission to help those with injuries, illnesses and physical disabilities? ” I am honored to be a part of an organization that does so much to help those struggling to get the home medical equipment (HME) and services needed for physical disabilities. We continue to create community solutions with a focus on local service first; partnerships allow us to collect and provide HME items across the state and country during disaster relief. We have come a long way since our founding in an Atlanta garage in 1986. With the current cuts to federal programs and the demise of many HME companies, FODAC is needed now more than ever. We depend on our donors and corporate sponsors to help us spread the word about FODAC’s services, especially to donate gently used HME items, vehicle lifts, or used computers that can be refurbished and redistributed to help those in need. We also need your financial support; every donated dollar is multiplied to $10 of services and equipment into the disabled community, with only 4% of total revenue used for overhead. Chris Brand CEO | FODAC fodac.org FODAC | CEO’s Letter | 3 FODAC MISSION THE MISSION OF FODAC FODAC’s mission is to provide home medical equipment (HME) Our Philosophy and Strengths: such as wheelchairs and hospital beds at little or no cost to the disabled and their families. We seek to enhance the quality of life We provide home health (mobility and daily living) equipment to for people of all ages who have any type of illness or physical people of any age or any disability, temporary or permanent, for disability. Since 1986, FODAC has collected and distributed medically necessary and medically helpful reasons. These items are more than 30,000 wheelchairs! provided at little or no cost to the recipients and their families. Cli- Friends of Disabled Adults & Children FODAC provides over $10 million each year in equipment and ents do not have to qualify financially but our waiting lists place a priority on medically necessary and low income individuals. We rely solely on equipment donations to accomplish this important task. services to the community at little or no cost to the recipients. FODAC operates as a “green” company, leading the way in FODAC is a 501(c)(3) and recycling and reuse in the HME community; the organization does not have funding from takes donations of used HME, no matter the condition, and Medicare/Medicaid for the services offered. Most equipment for people with disabilities is issued for a suggested donation but some services have mandatory fees. annually recycles over 200 tons of metal and batteries. Medically Necessary: We strive to meet the short term needs in medically necessary situations where the client is waiting on benefits to begin. Examples include injuries with no existing insurance; a child outgrowing a wheelchair; a back up piece of equipment; all shower equipment; or caregiver aids. 4 | Mission | FODAC fodac.org 3. FODAC does not perform repairs on a walk-in basis. Many people who arrive to get a repair without calling first are asked to make an appointment and come back on another date. Those who schedule repairs should bring their confirmation number with them. 4. FODAC requires a mandatory contribution fee of $25.00 Medically Helpful: We strive to further assist individuals who have specific social or community interests that require mobility for traveling long distances. Examples include recreation, school, church, shopping, or doctor’s appointments. for each repair plus the cost for any parts that must be purchased. Your equipment and wheel chair donations/contributions and other disability support ensures that FODAC can continue to provide the excellent services that our clients expect. Client info and Responsibilities: 1. We accept phone or walk-in requests for equipment. Medically necessary requests receive top priority followed by medically helpful requests. 2. We can only provide equipment as it is donated to us. Some requests may go on a waiting list that could take several days or several weeks to fill depending on availability. fodac.org FODAC | Mission | 5 FODAC PROJECTS Vehicle Modification Vehicle adaptive equipment makes limited mobility a thing of the past. However, for many disabled clients and their families, the cost of vehicle adaptations are prohibitive and are not covered by insurance. FODAC’s vehicle modification program installs equipment such as scooter hitch lifts, full size van lifts, 4-point tie downs and more on your car for minimal cost. We remove adaptive equipment from vehicles at no cost and then refurbish and reinstall that equipment on another client’s vehicle for a very low price. Home Modifications FODAC’s home modification program utilizes government and community funding sources to build access ramps and other home modifications to accommodate mobility impairment. We have completed projects that assisted 42 families in the Metro Atlanta area who were eligible based on location and income. We work with state and federal programs, Brain and Spinal Injury Trust Fund, and The Georgia Department of Community Affairs. FODAC is also very proud of our new contract with the Atlanta Regional Commission which has funded home access projects that allowed 22 people to transition back into the community who where inappropriately trapped in a nursing home. We maintain a resource data base to help families in need of financial assistance secure funding for their modification needs. Retail value to the community is $400,000. 48 Vehicle Modifications 6 | Projects | FODAC 28 Home Modifications fodac.org FODAC PROJECTS Wheelchair Repair FODAC is one of the few organizations in the country with the resources to operate and maintain an on-site wheelchair and HME repair facility. For a nominal fee, FODAC technicians can repair all types of HME, whether acquired through FODAC or elsewhere. This is a vital service to the community that reduces wait time for otherwise costly repairs and helps people maintain access to school, work, and the community. Some of FODAC’s donated equipment and supplies goes overseas, either for disaster relief or to support local medical programs in need of basic equipment such as wheelchairs and hospital beds. Medical Supplies We pre-sort donated medical supplies for easy distribution first to our clients, then local free clinics, and then excess items are given to capable international service agencies. Catheters, colostomy supplies, wound care and adult incontinence aids are just a few of the most common requests we get for supplies. So far in 2013, we have distributed over 40 pallet loads to local free clinics along with oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, suction and other medical devices. Computer and AT Repair This year, FODAC partnered with the Tools for Life Program to take our previous computer refurbishment program to new heights. We now have a Microsoft Software agreement and in-house Microsoft Certified Refurbishers on staff. Computers and peripherals are displayed and sold in the Thrift Store for qualified recipients who are disabled or low-income. FODAC needs corporate and private computer donations for the program. FODAC is also expanding its assistive technology program as well. fodac.org FODAC | Projects | 7 FODAC PROJECTS International Relief Institutional equipment and clinical supplies that can’t be re-used domestically, such as exam tables, hospital beds, and therapy lifts, are given a new life overseas. These items also include feeding pumps, oxygen supplies, prosthetics, catheters and surgical kits. 2013, we partnered with the Buckhead Rotary Club in Atlanta to purchase and distribute 400 new wheelchairs and many excess hospital beds to Ecuadorean hospitals. FODAC also provided many truckloads of clinical supplies to Medshare and several other international relief agencies. Disaster Relief FODAC leverages our manufacturer and non-profit partners to provide aid during disaster relief. Past efforts have included hurricanes Katrina, Irene, Rita, Isaac and Ike, as well as the Haiti earthquake. This fiscal year saw FODAC trucks filled with HME and supplies headed to tornadoravaged Oklahoma, and areas of New Jersey still recovering from Sandy. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) has also provided a contract to FODAC in 2013 that provides pre-staged equipment to be held at FODAC and depends on FODAC for the distribution of these items in a major disaster in Georgia.
