Wheelchairs 4 Kids
Wheelchairs 4 Kids provides wheelchairs, home and vehicle modifications, as well as other necessary medical equipment at no charge to the children we serve through our Let’s Roll Program. Children with disabilities face many obstacles getting the equipment that they need: insurance and/or Medicaid may not cover the equipment, their home or vehicle may not be properly equipped for their needs, families may not be able to afford their copay, among others. These obstacles can lead to unsafe conditions for the child and their caretakers. Wheelchairs 4 Kids is here to help.
If you want more information including income eligibility, application, and their other programs please contact our caseworker, Ellie, at 435-75307337.
