Wheelchairs 4 Kids

Wheelchairs 4 Kids provides wheelchairs, home and vehicle modifications as well as other assistive and therapeutic equipment for children with physical disabilities at no cost to their families, who have been denied by Medicaid or their insurance provider. 

Many children living with physical disabilities are in wheelchairs that are too small, in disrepair, or do not fit the child’s needs. Children outgrow their wheelchairs before government or insurance programs will allow for a replacement; typically, 5 years. Not only is it unsafe for a disabled child to be using an inadequate chair, it can impact their health in numerous ways including scoliosis, respiratory problems and pressure sores.  

In addition, families are faced with trying to care for their special needs children in homes that have not been modified to meet their specific circumstances. Imagine trying to lift your teenager in and out of bed or a bathtub without assistive devices or a modified bathroom.  Picture a child in a home where they can’t get upstairs.  Our name may be Wheelchairs 4 Kids, but we do so much more.  We have provided custom wheelchairs, widened doors, built ramps and provided wheelchair lifts and carriers for vehicles.  We have given children standers and gait trainers and even installed a stairlift allowing a child to reach the second level of their home.  Everyone at Wheelchairs 4 Kids is working hard to address this much neglected need.  Thank you for being part of the solution.
