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

Meet Daniela, a cheerful 10-year-old living with h Meet Daniela, a cheerful 10-year-old living with her family in the mountains of Guatemala.

At age two, Daniela was diagnosed with a muscular condition that gradually weakened her ability to move on her own. Her family once rented a wheelchair for eight months, but after they could no longer afford it, Daniela had to crawl or be carried everywhere.

Without mobility, she couldn't attend school and spent her days at home with her mother, who helped with her daily needs.

Everything changed when Daniela received a brand-new wheelchair!

“May God bless you,” her mother said. “Now she doesn’t have to crawl. She can go out, play, and go to school!”

This month, people just like you are Moving for Mobility—raising awareness and funds to provide wheelchairs to children and families like Daniela's.

You can participate by choosing any activity you like, or give to an active fundraiser at the link in our profile!

Let's get moving!

Why do we Move for Mobility every May? For one th Why do we Move for Mobility every May?

For one thing, May is Mobility Awareness Month—the perfect time to bring awareness to the need for wheelchairs in our world: an estimated 80 million.

Back in 2006, we started "Run for Mobility" as a fun way for our supporters to raise awareness and funds for our mission.

Originally tied to local 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and marathons, the event became the virtual Move for Mobility in 2020.

It's 19 years later and we now have hundreds of participants worldwide raising awareness for those with mobility challenges in developing countries!
