| Organizational Description: | At Tetra, our focus is to find solutions to overcome environmental barriers faced by people with disabilities. While these environmental barriers are still a part of the journey, we believe Tetra solutions help foster greater independence, quality of life, and inclusion. Clients range in age, medical conditions and needs and the breadth of gadgets span from the workplace, at-home modifications, to sport and leisure as well. Tetra recruits volunteers who work with clients to design and build assistive devices that are custom-made for the individual - these are devices that are often not available commercially or cost-prohibitive. Clients range in age, medical conditions and needs and the breadth of gadgets span from the workplace, at-home modifications, and for sport and leisure as well. As a non-profit organization, Tetra raises funds to deliver this program, including covering the costs of volunteer travel and materials for devices up to $500 per project. Ultimately, we envision a world where people with physical disabilities feel empowered and inspired to reimagine what's possible. This is achieved by doing things - accessing opportunities. |
