People With Disabilities
DirectConnect works with organizations that are focused on helping people with disabilities.
We help by providing mobility equipment such as crutches and wheelchairs, and to provide access with such things as wheelchair ramps.
Other equipment would include, lifts, standers, and portable toilets.
