Cash Assistance

United Needs & Abilities, Inc. (UNA) offers a Cash Assistance Program to help individuals and families get services, equipment, or medications that aren’t covered by insurance or other benefits. This program is designed to support unique, individual needs related to a documented disability even if those needs don’t apply to everyone with that disability.

You are eligible to apply if:

• You have a verifiable, documented disability
• You need something not covered by:
• Insurance
• State agencies
• Personal funds
• You live in one of the 9 counties on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

If all the above are true – you can apply!

• UNA staff review every application
• We contact you or your representative to:
• Understand the request
• Explore the best way to meet the need
• We also check if there are other resources to help
  

NO.

• Once approved and used for the specific need, you will never be asked to repay the funds
• This is not a loan
• Funds are awarded for a specific need, not for general use.
  

At  $125 per brick, purchasing a commemorative brick for UNA’s legacy walk is a great way to make sure that your loved one is remembered for years to come.

By purchasing a brick you will also be supporting UNA’s mission to enrich the lives of people with developmental disabilities.
