Getting to care shouldn’t be a challenge

D.A.V. & Elderly Assistants for Life, Inc. was founded on May 27, 2009, and incorporated under the laws of the State of South Carolina. What began as a vision to help people in need became the foundation of an organization committed to serving veterans, seniors, people with disabilities, and individuals who need assistance maintaining independence and dignity in their daily lives.

The organization was inspired by a personal commitment to service, compassion, and family. Cynthia H. White, founder and President/CEO, recognized that many people⁠—especially older adults, veterans, and individuals living with disabilities⁠—often face challenges accessing transportation, healthcare, supportive services, and the basic assistance needed to remain safely connected to their communities.

From the beginning, D.A.V. & Elderly Assistants for Life, Inc. was established with a simple but powerful belief: people should not have to face these challenges alone. The organization’s foundation was built on compassion, dignity, responsibility, and a commitment to helping those who are often underserved and overlooked.

The 2009 founding marked the beginning of a journey that would continue to grow with the changing needs of the communities we serve.
