Donor Testimonials

“I saw how wheelchair recipients found light, freedom, and joy, to know that as human beings, they matter and are loved.”

~ Kathy from California

“To the able-bodied observer, my wheelchair may represent adversity, their eyes perceiving only loss. but my wheelchair does not imprison me; it empowers me. For this reason, I choose to support Free Wheelchair Mission and their work to give the gift of mobility to those in need. Everyone deserves to enjoy such freedom.”

~ Ashley from Indiana

Agustin (58, Ecuador) has diabetes and suffered ki

Agustin (58, Ecuador) has diabetes and suffered kidney failure. Through tears, he told our local distribution partner, @fundacion_vistaparatodos, “Despite my illness, I used to walk normally. I went to the hospital by myself to have dialysis 3 times a week. One day, I came to the hospital and they told me to go home because I can get infected with COVID-19 and they could not do dialysis. A few days later, I had some health problems. My relatives took me to the hospital. Sometime later, I was told that my right leg had to be amputated urgently. Please, help me with a wheelchair!” Because of your generosity, Agustin received one—a new GEN_3 wheelchair, custom-fitted to him. Now, more than ever, the need for mobility is great, and our mission continues with your help. Would you tell a friend about Free Wheelchair Mission or give a gift today? ⁣⁠

William (58) was serving in the Guatemalan army when he was shot one night in 1995. The bullet lodged in his spine, leaving him with paraplegia. While he did receive some help from the government, he never had a wheelchair until 2019, when our partner @faithinpractice fitted him with one of our GEN_3 wheelchairs, which folds for easy storage and transport. "Very cool," grinned William, who is thankful to God for everyone who helped give him the gift of mobility.⁣⁠

This International Literacy Day, we celebrate the role of teachers like Misole, who was left paralyzed after her classroom collapsed in the devastating Haiti earthquake of 2010. Undaunted, Misole continued to teach neighborhood children out of her home. She received a new wheelchair in 2018 and hopes to resume teaching in a classroom once the situation allows. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
To all the dedicated educators out there who make for a more literate world, thank you!⁣⁠

Thank you for your support of Free Wheelchair Miss

Thank you for your support of Free Wheelchair Mission's Medical & Mobility Emergency Fund! Because of you, much-needed medical supplies and mobility aids have been sent to distribution partners in Africa, Asia, and Latin America during this pandemic.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
The medical supplies, which include masks, gloves, needles, syringes, and blankets, have allowed our distribution partners to continue offering vital health services in their communities during this critical time, and to continue delivering wheelchairs to those who need them while observing COVID-19 safety protocols.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Our work isn't over, though. The needs are still great—maybe greater than ever as coronavirus continues to spread, infecting more than 25 million people worldwide. Would you give a gift to the Medical and Mobility Emergency Fund today? Link in bio to donate.⁣⁠⠀

Sharmishree (19, India) lost mobility after contracting a virus when she was seven. Her father works as an "auto" (mini yellow taxi) driver and didn't earn enough to buy her a wheelchair. But thanks to you, she received a new GEN_3 wheelchair that folds up for ease of transport. Every morning, her father starts his route by taking Sharmishree to a trade school for people with disabilities, where she is learning how to sew in order to make a living.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Thank you for helping to empower lives like Sharmishree's by giving the gift of mobility.⁣⁠⠀
