You can print out the directions and application to mail in by going here:

mymsaa.org/PDFs/app_cooling...

To apply on line, go here and answer all the questions:

forms.mymsaa.org/Cooling_Di...

I'm not sure where you got stuck but sometimes it's just easier to see what needs to be done if you can print it out and look at it.

Not sure that helped but good luck!

I don't have a printer only android cell. I will fill out another application and see if I see something about using precription pictures. Maybe I missed something. This will be the third application. If I can't find it, I'll make a phone call. Thanks!

I’m sorry I cannot See the other replies so I’ll just give two ways that I know how to get a cooling vest. One is through the MS society. That is based on financial need. If you don’t meet their criteria for financial need then you have to buy one . There are lots of sites on the internet. The most important thing to look for besides price is the weight and how long it will stay cold .

It’s ironic, I the cooling vests they make for people are expensive and heavy. I have one for my dog. It’s light and was inexpensive. It works great for hours at a time. I don’t understand why they can’t do that for people.

In any event once you get one it will last you for years.

I hope this helps you. Best of luck.

I read the above posts and perhaps you can have a friend go to those links and print them out or let you apply online. Usually, you can go to a local library and print out the forms for a small fee. I got my cooling vest last year and love it. It allows me to go shopping or just outside when it gets so hot in summer. Really a great service offered by MSAA!
