Community Partnership Provides Mobility Support to Veterans Through Field of Honor Ceremony

During 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. The ceremony took place among rows of waving flags and families who came to pay tribute, with the veteran being surprised with both a power wheelchair and a custom quilt that recognized his service.

This gift represents the 40th motorized wheelchair or scooter donated through the ongoing partnership between A Place At Home - North Austin and ShareTheWill Foundation. 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, making this a full family effort to serve veterans, seniors, and neighbors in need.

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 has no paid staff and brings hundreds of volunteers to its mission, with every dollar going directly into community impact. The foundation provides support ranging from mobility equipment to back to school backpacks and running shoes, July 4th parades, 3,500 Thanksgiving meals, sponsoring more than 4,000 families at Christmas, Honor Flight Austin, Field of Honor and many more community initiatives.

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 behind when the lending closet closed. Williamson County Commissioner Russ Boles noted that "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."

The Field of Honor is a large annual week-long event in Georgetown organized by the Rotary Club of Georgetown, serving as a powerful backdrop for recognizing community heroes. Residents of Central Texas who have wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, hospital beds, or other medical equipment they would like to donate can contact the ShareTheWill Foundation through their website at https://sharethewill.org. Families who need mobility equipment or support can also reach out directly for help, with volunteers working to match them with available equipment and arrange pickup or delivery when possible.

The partnership has helped provide nearly 40 wheelchairs over the last few years through community donations and volunteer support. ShareTheWill accepts scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, lift chairs, and other mobility or safety items that can help local veterans, seniors, and families in need. Veterans, seniors, caregivers, and Central Texas families facing financial or mobility challenges can request equipment at no cost, demonstrating the community's commitment to ensuring no neighbor faces hardship alone.
