How are Milestone Miles Funds Used?
100% of every dollar raised will benefit individuals with physical and mental disabilities. Funds will stay local to Williams County, ND to support them with adaptive medical equipment and assistive technology that is not covered by insurance.
Why is it important to support Milestone Miles?
Oftentimes adaptive medical equipment and assistive technology is needed for individuals with disabilities of all kinds: physical or mental. This equipment is very costly and is not always covered by insurance despite the necessity to survive, thrive and to ensure all individuals have equal opportunities to be active members of our community. Milestone Miles will assist in breaking a financial barrier for families by lessening some of the burden of their challenging path they've been given along with providing hope that their loved one will have a better opportunity to reach their full potential.
