Free Wheelchair Mission
Our Eastertide Mission: RISE!
Take a moment to envision the 80 million people in our world who lack access to a wheelchair, forcing them to crawl instead of move freely. Let's unite to change this reality. By donating to Free Wheelchair Mission, we can help them RISE! by providing a wheelchair.
Free Wheelchair Mission is the world’s largest nonprofit manufacturer of cost-efficient, durable wheelchairs designed for the developing world. Since 2001, they have distributed more than 1.4 million wheelchairs to individuals with disabilities in 95 countries. For $96, a wheelchair is built, shipped, and distributed across the world, changing the life of a disabled person through the gift of mobility. Give the gift of mobility this Easter season because no one should have to crawl.
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" ~Matthew 24:40
X4 Gift Challenge
While we are celebrating the
resurrection of Jesus during Eastertide, we also will follow this theme of
"rising" in our outreach efforts by purchasing wheelchairs for
disabled people in developing countries and lifting them off the ground and
into a wheelchair. Through a matching gift from an anonymous St. John's
donor, every wheelchair purchased during the Easter Season will be doubled and that gift will be doubled again by donors from Free Wheelchair
Mission. So, for every wheelchair purchased, 4 wheelchairs will be distributed.
That means that for $96, 4 people will never need to crawl again - yes, 4 lives will be radically transformed!
Please donate any amount that you can give!
