T.O. lives with scoliosis and cervical spinal stenosis, and the torture of neuropathy and pinched nerves affects every aspect of her life. “The neuropathy is a feeling that is really unbearable,” she explains. “It’s difficult to live with because my leg will go numb or my foot will go numb and I can’t feel it, like it’s not even there. It can be dangerous.” T.O. learned a massage chair might help, but the price tag of $5,499 was well beyond reach; T.O. lives on $1,306 per month. Being a former legal analyst, she threw herself into online research and found the Montana Assistive Technology Loan (MATL) Program. The application process was easy and she was able to purchase her chair. Has it made a difference? You bet! “I’m in a lot of pain almost all the time, and the chair relieves some of that pain,” she says. “I can spend some time in the chair, using the mode that squeezes arms, feet, and ankles, and the neuropathy goes away. I can be ok for a couple of days. It was really a Godsend for me to be able to get it.”

After a driver on meth passed out at the wheel and plowed across the center line, S.D. ended up in the hospital with three breaks in his femur, broken bones in his hand and arm, and a severe concussion. Following a three-week hospital stay, he was looking at months of rehab. His wife knew it was going to be an ordeal. “My husband is stubborn as all get-out and doesn’t like people to do stuff for him,” she said. “so finding long-term equipment was important.” The couple borrowed tools to help S.D. shower and dress as independently as possible. A HandyBar was hugely helpful for getting him in and out of vehicles. Most important from a father’s perspective, S.D. borrowed a reused off-road wheelchair with all-terrain wheels to get onto the football field for their sons’ games. “You miss a lot when you go through an experience like that,” S.D. explained. “I missed the 21st of August until the first part of October. It was partway through their season before I got to watch a game.” S.D.’s wife noted that purchasing all the equipment they needed would have been a hardship. The savings meant a lot to S.D. too. “I think MonTECH did an outstanding job, all the equipment you loaned us and for nothing,” he said. “Without the help of MonTECH, we would have been out thousands of dollars.”
