Community Partnership Provides 40th Mobility Device to Veteran at Georgetown Field of Honor

At the Ninth Annual Field of Honor in Georgetown, Texas, where more than 2,000 flags honored military members and first responders, a Vietnam veteran received two meaningful gifts: a motorized wheelchair and a personalized quilt stitched with his name, rank, and service history. This donation represents the 40th motorized wheelchair or scooter provided through the ongoing partnership between A Place At Home - North Austin and ShareTheWill Foundation.

The ceremony took place among rows of waving flags and families who came to pay tribute to service members. For Stacey Eisenberg and her husband Bryan, co-owners of A Place At Home - North Austin, this mission began when a local medical lending closet they supported closed two years ago. They wanted to ensure the community never lost access to essential mobility equipment and were introduced to Will Williams shortly after the closure.

ShareTheWill was founded by Will Williams, a 26-year Army veteran and former Ranger who has devoted his post-service life to supporting Central Texas families. The organization operates with no paid staff and relies on hundreds of volunteers, ensuring every dollar goes directly into community impact. Their work extends beyond mobility equipment to include back-to-school backpacks, running shoes, July 4th parades, 3,500 Thanksgiving meals, sponsoring more than 4,000 families at Christmas, Honor Flight Austin, and the Field of Honor event organized by the Rotary Club of Georgetown at https://www.georgetownrotary.org.

While Mobility City in Cedar Park contributed a wheelchair for this specific event, the core ongoing partnership remains between A Place At Home North Austin and ShareTheWill Foundation. Together they continue to fill critical gaps left by the lending closet's closure. Williamson County Commissioner Russ Boles noted, "This is the heart of Williamson County. When our community comes together to lift up a veteran, it reminds us of our shared values. We don't simply say we support one another — we step forward and prove."

Residents of Central Texas who have wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, hospital beds, or other medical equipment to donate can contact the ShareTheWill Foundation at https://www.sharethewill.org. Veterans, seniors, caregivers, and Central Texas families facing financial or mobility challenges can also request equipment at no cost through the same organization. The foundation accepts scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, lift chairs, and other mobility or safety items that can help local community members in need.

The Eisenberg family's children are actively involved in these efforts, making it a full family commitment to serve veterans, seniors, and neighbors in need. This partnership demonstrates how community organizations can effectively address critical needs when traditional support systems disappear, providing essential mobility equipment to those who served their country and now face physical challenges in their daily lives.
