The Ninth Annual Field of Honor in Georgetown, Texas, where more than 2,000 flags honored military members and first responders, served as the setting for a surprise presentation: a Vietnam veteran received a motorized wheelchair and a personalized quilt stitched with his name, rank, and service history. The gifts were made possible by A Place At Home - North Austin and the ShareTheWill Foundation, continuing an ongoing partnership that has now donated 40 motorized wheelchairs or scooters to Central Texas residents.
For Stacey Eisenberg and her husband Bryan, co-owners of A Place At Home - North Austin, the mission began when a local medical lending closet they supported closed two years ago. Determined to ensure the community retained access to essential mobility equipment, they were introduced to Will Williams, founder of ShareTheWill. Since then, their family has been actively involved, making it 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 relies on hundreds of volunteers. Every dollar goes directly into community impact, from mobility equipment to back-to-school backpacks, 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 other initiatives.
While Mobility City in Cedar Park contributed a wheelchair for this event, the core partnership remains between A Place At Home - North Austin and ShareTheWill Foundation. Together they are filling critical gaps left when the lending closet closed. Williamson County Commissioner Russ Boles remarked, "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."
Residents of Central Texas who have wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, hospital beds, or other medical equipment to donate can contact ShareTheWill Foundation. Families in need of mobility equipment or support can also reach out directly for assistance. The partnership has provided 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. Veterans, seniors, caregivers, and Central Texas families facing financial or mobility challenges can request equipment at no cost.
The Field of Honor, a large annual week-long event organized by the Rotary Club of Georgetown, features more than 2,000 flags honoring veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders. It serves as a powerful backdrop for recognizing community heroes. ShareTheWill, led by Will Williams, operates with no paid staff, ensuring every dollar and donated item goes directly toward helping local families.
