If you are living with CMT and need help accessing essential mobility and daily living equipment, the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) offers a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Grant Program that may be able to help.

This program helps people living with neuromuscular diseases including CMT  access essential equipment that supports greater independence, safety, and everyday mobility at home, in school, at work, and at play. Equipment covered includes mobility aids, lift chairs, and other durable medical items that improve quality of life.
