“Maple Tree has been able to help me gain my mobility and feeling back by strengthening my legs. I had trouble walking and being mobile. I couldn’t take myself to my appointments, I had to have my sister-in-law go with me. The program keeps me limber so I can function at home, such as cleaning, cooking, driving, and taking care of my cat. It also helped me emotionally and got my spirits up. I love the environment Maple Tree provides, it is very fun. I like that I get a chance to socialize with the other trainers and patients, and I have even made friends here! I like that the sessions are one-on-one with the trainer and they push me to do better. Lastly, I am so thankful that the program is free. I donate once a year, but I am so thankful that it is no cost to me and that I can keep coming here for free as I go through my treatment.”
