As the leaves turn golden and the air takes on that crisp autumn chill, October invites us to pause, reflect, and embrace the spirit of giving. It’s a season of gratitude—a time to celebrate what we have while helping those who need a little extra support. For the Wheelchair Foundation, this season is the perfect opportunity to remind ourselves how one simple gift—a wheelchair—can transform a life forever.
The Power of Giving
Every wheelchair distributed is more than just a seat—it’s independence, freedom, and hope. When you donate to the Wheelchair Foundation, your generosity travels across the globe to children, adults, and elders who have been waiting for the mobility they deserve.
Take the story of Mercia from Mozambique. At just 12 years old, Mercia faces daily challenges simply because she cannot walk. When she received her wheelchair, her world changed—she could join her peers, attend school, and participate in her community in ways she never thought possible. Your support makes these stories possible.
Volunteering Matters
Giving isn’t only about financial contributions. Volunteers play a crucial role in our mission—helping organize shipments, spreading awareness, or sharing stories that inspire others to act. Volunteers often say the experience is life-changing, providing a chance to connect with the very people they are helping and witness the impact firsthand.
Whether you have a few hours or a few days, your time can make an incredible difference. It’s proof that giving comes in many forms, and every act counts.
Seasonal Opportunities to Help
October and the fall season are perfect for joining or starting a giving campaign. Whether you’re organizing a workplace fundraiser, participating in a social media challenge, or simply sharing our mission with friends and family, your efforts multiply the impact of every donation.
Small acts matter—every share, every volunteer hour, and every dollar donated brings hope and mobility to someone who needs it. By embracing the spirit of fall giving, you’re planting seeds of change that will grow far beyond this season.
How Your Support Changes Lives
Last year alone, the Wheelchair Foundation delivered thousands of wheelchairs across multiple countries, touching countless lives. Children could go to school, adults could work, and families could reconnect with loved ones in new ways. Each wheelchair is a bridge to opportunity, independence, and dignity.
Join Us This October
This October, fall into giving. Whether through a donation, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, your support matters more than ever. Together, we can continue to transform lives—one wheelchair at a time.
