The Help America Hear Program is designed to support individuals who meet specific financial and medical criteria. Our application process carefully evaluates several factors to ensure hearing aids are provided to those with the greatest need.
First Hand is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization supported by the generosity of Cerner Corporation, its associates, its business partners, and friends. The Foundation assists individual children who have clinical, health-related needs and no financial safety net to cover these expenses. By focusing on the individual child, First Hand reaches children and their families who would otherwise fall through the cracks of insurance coverage and state aid. The Foundation strives to provide assistance that creates independence, rather than dependence for its recipients.
Computers for the Blind is a non-profit 501(c) 3 volunteer organization located in Richardson, TX. We provide accessible computers to persons who are blind and visually impaired. We collect donated laptop and desktop computers from businesses and individuals. Skilled volunteer computer technicians wipe them clean and install screen reader software (NVDA). Upon request we provide larger monitors and/or a trial version of Zoomtext. The full version is available for $200. E-mail and word processor software are part of the software library along with simple accessible tutorials on how to operate the accessible software.
