began with "Formation", then Operations, as a Public Benefit Corporation, which was required before Application could be made to IRS for 501c3 "tax-exempt" status, as a Public Charity. This substantial effort was funded by Co-Founder Mr. Edward W. LeMahieu's donations, and a modest loan which is already mostly repaid. Very generous terms were provided, with repayment being made over a decade, WHILE maintaining 85% operating efficiency he motioned for as Chairman, and which was unanimously approved by the Board.
As well, during this period, Mr. LeMahieu's Medical Device Consulting and Contract Engineering Firm
Walt Medical Product Services & Staffing Inc. was instrumental in providing additional necessary funding, contributing 5% of Revenues quarterly as a donation aHAND4 Life!
- and continues to-date!
