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

Our team completed our annual Move for Mobility la Our team completed our annual Move for Mobility last week.

This year, we found ourselves at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center at Upper Newport Bay, CA, learning about the local nature and how to keep preserving it.

It's always such a joy when we get to do something fun together! After a beautiful 3-mile, out-and-back walk on beautiful trail, we enjoyed some lunch donated by the generous @cfawoodbury.

Now it's your turn! Send us a photo in your Move for Mobility t-shirt!

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!
