Program areas at Wheelchairs 4 Kids
Equipment modification program - we provide wheelchairs, home, and vehicle modifications, as well as other assistive equipment at no charge to the families. In fiscal 2022 we provided 217 kids with equipment and/or modifications, a 5% increase over the prior year.
Facilities Program - In the event that receive gently used items as a donation that we are not able to present to a child, we offer it to facilities, hospitals, physical therapy facilities, schools that cater to special needs, etc. in as-is condition at no charge. We believe that if they can use the equipment for several clients or in a lending program, it is better to pass it along than to hold on to it. During 2022, we gave away 2 items to 2 facilities valued at $1,942.
Inclusion program - Wheely fun days allows our children to experience some of the activities that we take for granted as well as some exclusive experiences. In fiscal 2022, we hosted a total of 15 Wheely Fun Days with 1,194 participants (including families). The program is primarily funded with donated goods and services.
