Driving is often seen as a symbol of freedom and independence, but for millions of individuals around the world living as an amputee, it can also represent a unique set of challenges and triumphs. Driving with an amputation often comes with physical and financial complexities that other drivers don’t face. Here is a very informative guide someone recently shared with us and we wanted to share with all of our supporters as well:

At Mays Mission for the Handicapped, community outreach isn’t just a program—it’s our purpose. From the beginning, our founder envisioned a place where people with disabilities in rural Arkansas could gain not just a paycheck, but skills, stability, and independence. What better way to uplift someone than to teach them a job—and then employ them to do that job?
For over 50 years, on-the-job training has been at the heart of our mission. We’ve had the privilege of training many individuals with disabilities—some of whom have gone on to excel with other companies, and others who have chosen to make Mays Mission their long-term home. Today, our employees work in every department, producing brochures, calendars, booklets, and gift paks that help power our outreach efforts.
Our community outreach extends far beyond our walls:
Scholarships – We award scholarships to deserving students with disabilities, helping them gain the education they need to compete and thrive in the workplace.
Camperships – We make it possible for children and adults with disabilities to enjoy summer camp programs filled with new friendships, experiences, and adventures.
Veterans and Nursing Homes – Our team visits veterans’ hospitals and nursing homes, bringing comfort and the assurance that those confined by age, illness, or injury are not forgotten.
Public Education – We send countless brochures across the country each month, covering topics such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and on-the-job training. Many of our loyal supporters share these materials in their own communities, helping spread the message about the importance of hiring people with disabilities.
We’re proud to have been recognized by the Arkansas Governor’s Commission on People with Disabilities as a past recipient of the Small Business Employer of the Year award—but we know that none of this would be possible without our generous donors.
Together, we are building opportunities, changing lives, and creating a more inclusive community for all.
