WHAT IS TRAID?

An individual was able to borrow items for use after hip replacement surgery, so she did not have to purchase all the items. Because the woman would not need all of the items for a long time, borrowing them was a better option than paying. 

A woman was in need of a lift chair as she is becoming weaker and her could no longer help her as much by lifting her.  She could not have afforded a lift chair without the TRAID program.
