Imagine being trapped in your own home. I was…

Friend,
Imagine if you had to wait 12 hours for a glass of water…
Imagine if you were trapped in your own home for months… even years…
Imagine how it feels to drive your car down the road with a check engine light
on, and it’s making a strange sound, and you’re pretty sure it’s going to break
down soon…
But instead of being able to go to the mechanic half a mile down the road to
get it fixed, you need to file paperwork to request permission from the
insurance company, and it could take up to six months for them to respond… And
they can just say NO.
Imagine you had to go through this insane process every six months because
your vehicle isn’t designed for the trips you need it to make, and you have no
way to afford a better vehicle except through what insurance is willing to pay
for… and they can just say NO!
This wasn’t a passing thought of mine.
This was my reality.
And it still is the reality of so many others.
My name is Thomas Quiter, founder of the Mobility Independence Foundation
(MIF). I was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta and have required the use of a
wheelchair for my entire life.
Here’s what most people don’t understand — government regulations are standing
in the way of people who can’t stand for themselves accessing the mobility
technology they need to access the world around them just like you.
All joking aside, I founded MIF to revolutionize and deregulate mobility
technology so we can provide impactful mobility solutions to those who need it
most.
Government regulations have trapped too many people in their own homes. Could
you donate $10, $35, $50, or even $100 to help the Mobility Independence
Foundation expose these inhumane policies?

Imagine what someone like me has to go through because our own government is
interfering with our ability to access mobility devices.
When I was told I should discard a $65,000 custom wheelchair over a 2-inch
part, it made me realize why open-source mobility equipment is the next step in
the industry.
Currently, the FDA considers wheelchairs the same as a prescription, and
people are told they cannot modify or repair them.
Not only that…
Because of the “in-the-home rule,” insurance companies are only required to
provide mobility equipment for “daily living,” which means it must be able to
handle the trip from your bedroom to your bathroom. That’s it!
Imagine the government telling you that you don’t need to go outside or even
around your entire home, and that’s considered a full life!
Our local communities are far more capable of supporting each other as
neighbors than the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., ever will be. This is why
our mission is to use open-source hardware rather than relying on government
programs.
Under open source hardware:
* People have the right to repair
* We don’t have to fight IP laws
* Communities can produce equipment themselves
* Nobody will be forgotten, trapped in their own homes!
This means everybody wins.

Imagine if everybody had the opportunity to live an active and purpose-driven
life…
That is what I am fighting for.
Thank you for helping us to get one step closer to everyone living the
American Dream.
