About Us
Who we are
We are dedicated to empowering individuals with mobility challenges by providing access to life-changing equipment that promotes independence, dignity, and freedom.
We support people of all ages and backgrounds who face mobility limitations due to injury, illness, or disability, ensuring they are not defined by their circumstances but equipped to rise above them. Through the generosity of our supporters, we deliver advanced mobility solutions that open doors to opportunity, connection, and a fuller life.
Our Mission
We provide equipment, resources, and adaptations to enhance independent living for people with disabilities
Bountiful American Foundation, INC. (d.b.a. American Mobility Project) was founded in the spring of 2019 by Mari and Gary Linfoot and Bob Hyde.
The foundation's purpose is to provide mobility and adaptive equipment and resources to those living with disabilities.
Gary Linfoot was injured in a helicopter crash while serving in the U.S. Army in Iraq in 2008. He has received state-of-the-art mobility equipment, which has enhanced his independence. Gary's technical knowledge and personal use of these devices aided in the continued improvement of these devices.
Gary and Mari have traveled throughout the country, speaking at schools, companies, and groups about the cost of freedom, citizenship, patriotism, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Frequently, they would meet people living with disabilities who didn't have access to the same equipment Gary had.
Inspired by this need, with Bob Hyde, they founded the American Mobility Project with the mission to provide this equipment to a community that deserves as much independence and dignity as the resources in our bountiful America can provide.
