Give the Gift of Mobility

Free Wheelchair Mission

I recently had the privledge of going to Peru to help distribute Wheel Chairs to those in need. The organization we partnered with was ‘Free Wheelchair Mission‘, and they have a goal to distribute 20 Million Wheel Chairs worldwide.

The typical cost of Wheelchair is $100+, but FWM developed a Wheelchair that cost $52 to build and this includes shipping to a 3rd world country.

I would encourage everyone to watch the video on their homepage and consider giving $52 to provide a Wheelchair for someone in need.

Here’s a 2 Minute highlight video from the Peru trip (Click Here)

    Wow, I’m really impressed that you went so far out of your way to volunteer. It’s easy to give money but it’s fantastic when people give their own time- something I need to be doing more of. I think it’s both fantastic and inspiring what you did!

    What if game developers and flash artists weren’t just known for fun and games (and in newgrounds’ case hentai and phallic cartoons) but also took a more active role in our communities- that’s a world I some day want to live in.

    Also, that movie was very well made. :)
