The following Story is from Wendy about her son Brett, who is a 13 year-old raising funds for Free Wheelchair Mission for his Bar Mitzvah project:

Brett has taken this project very seriously. The photos of the wheelchairs being delivered to those in need in other countries made him cry. This is a terrific project for him and win-win for everyone involved. He is required by his religious school to perform a "mitzvah" or good deed in any way that he desires.

To date, Brett has raised over $650.00 for the Free Wheelchair Mission. He raised the money by hand making candy bar wrappers on our home computer to cover Hershey Bars which we purchased.

Brett scoped out a location in front of Dunkin Donuts in our home town, Needham, MA, and set up a table with posters and handouts and information about the Free Wheelchair Mission. He sold over 100 candy bars plus received many more donations after his presentation!

He continues to raise funds for the Free Wheelchair Mission. In August his is doing a mini bike-athon, and sells additional candy at soccer tournaments.

For Brett, the goal of Free Wheelchair Mission has touched his heart. He is an acitve, sports-loving boy and his only wish is that all disabled children can receive the precious gift of mobility that a wheelchair offers.
