The Ninth Annual Field of Honor in Georgetown, Texas served as the backdrop for a significant community partnership that continues to address mobility needs for Central Texas veterans. During the ceremony featuring more than 2,000 flags honoring military members and first responders, A Place At Home - North Austin and the ShareTheWill Foundation presented a Vietnam veteran with both a motorized wheelchair and a personalized quilt recognizing his service history.
This donation marked the 40th motorized wheelchair or scooter provided through the ongoing collaboration between the two organizations. The partnership began when a local medical lending closet closed two years ago, creating a gap in essential mobility equipment access for the community. Stacey Eisenberg and her husband Bryan, co-owners of A Place At Home - North Austin, recognized the need to ensure continued access to these vital resources.
ShareTheWill Foundation, founded by 26-year Army veteran and former Ranger Will Williams, operates as an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. The foundation directs every dollar and donated item directly toward community impact, supporting initiatives ranging from mobility equipment to back-to-school backpacks, Thanksgiving meals, and Christmas family sponsorships. Their work extends beyond veteran support to include seniors, caregivers, and families facing financial or mobility challenges throughout Central Texas.
Local businesses have joined the effort, with Mobility City in Cedar Park contributing equipment for specific events. The core partnership between A Place At Home North Austin and ShareTheWill Foundation continues to fill critical gaps left by the closed lending closet. Williamson County Commissioner Russ Boles emphasized the community significance, stating that such efforts demonstrate shared values through action rather than words.
The Field of Honor itself, organized by the Rotary Club of Georgetown, provides a meaningful setting for recognizing community heroes. The week-long event features extensive flag displays and serves as a platform for honoring service members and first responders.

Central Texas residents can participate in this community support network by donating gently used medical equipment including scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, and lift chairs. Those needing mobility assistance can also request equipment at no cost through the ShareTheWill Foundation. The organization maintains its commitment to ensuring no neighbor faces hardship alone, with all resources directed toward immediate community impact.
