Wheelchair Donations

Wheelchair Donation Programs for Children with Cerebral Palsy 

Wheelchairs provide mobility, access and independence to kids with special needs, allowing them to become active members of society. However, not everyone who needs a wheelchair can afford one. For those with insufficient or no health insurance, purchasing a wheelchair can be extremely costly.

Fortunately, there are many organizations today which donate wheelchairs and other mobility aids to children and adults in need. Below is a list of wheelchair donation programs across the U.S. To find out if your child qualifies, call the number listed or visit the website for more information.
