Muscular Dystrophy Patients United Charity Profile

We are a relatively new group, who is not yet Non-profit, serving the needs of patients with Muscular Dystrophy in the United States. At this point, our organization is still in its inception. At some point, we hope to be able to provide multiple services for families and patients afflicted with one of the 40+ neuromuscular diseases covered under the umbrella term Muscular Dystrophy worldwide. For now, we are providing services on an as needed basis until our organization grows. This means we are NOT actively fundraising and have not made a cent, to date, in MDP United's name.

Our goal is for patients to receive help paying for costly equipment insurance and other organizations will not or cannot pay for such as high tech wheelchair gadgets, braces, van lifts, ramps, hospital beds, bathroom modifications such as grab bars and roll-in showers, commodes, and Hoyer lifts. Additionally, we would eventually like to offer patients across the country, special clinic visits.

The primary mission of MDP United is working towards improving the quality of life for individuals with Muscular Dystrophy who live in the United States. One day, we at MDP United hope to have our own branch of the MDP United main office in at least one city in every state across the nation and in Canada. For now, our efforts are focusing specifically on fundraising in the SE-Michigan/NW-Ohio area as this is the location of the MDP United Headquarters. However, volunteers are welcome to have fundraisers across the country as the money raised will go to patients all over the U.S..
