Program areas at Wheelchairs for Warriors
Wheelchair programs the organization designs, builds and delivers customized enhanced-mobility Wheelchairs to veterans and first responders injured in the line of duty. A rehab seating specialist/engineer visits each recipient in person to measure their bodies, determine their abilities/disabilites, assess their wants/needs/desires to design a wheelchair unique to their situation, lifestyle and capabilities. The chairs are designed at the headquarters in Texas, built by the manufacturer and then personally delivered to the recipient at their home by the rehab seating specialist and someone from our organization. The recipient and family members are given an extensive overview of their new equipment so they can use it safely and confidently.
Education we are committed to educating the public on the adverse effects immobility and isolation cause within the injured veteran community, psychologically as well as physically. The ramifications are felt first in the veteran's family, their immediate community and the larger veteran population. We educate to bring awareness of the oversights and shortfalls in care of this under-served segment of the veteran population, and promote engagement and investment of time and resources so that no veteran is 'left behind' on the home field. We also educate to inform the public of technological advances in enhanced mobility, so that our injured veterans do not have to 'make do'. Once people know of the larger challenges, they are better able to form collaborations, networks for opportunities to engage and help deliver solutions. Education is the key to the success of our mission.
Community outreach activities:through grass-roots organizing and community events, the organization activates communities and individuals across the nation to invest in veteran advocacy and support. It inspires individuals of all ages to serve and lead within their local community through direct involvement in our ambassador program. The organization aligns itself with strategic partners to bring awareness of our recipients needs and customized solutions we provide.
