Founded in 2001, Free Wheelchair Mission is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to providing wheelchairs for individuals with physical challenges living in economically disadvantaged areas of developing nations. Headquartered in Irvine, California, FWM works around the world in partnership with a vast network of humanitarian, faith-based and government organizations, sending wheelchairs to hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities, providing not only the gift of mobility, but of dignity, independence, and hope. Their mission is “to provide the transforming gift of mobility to the physically disabled poor in developing countries, as motivated by Jesus Christ.”
Greetings and Happy Friday!
In the last three weeks I have shared stories of Elida, Eugene, and Luong. Three individuals who not only are featured on Free Wheelchair Mission’s Christmas cards this year, but also recipients of our wheelchairs who have overcome obstacles and remain happy and excited to have received a wheelchair that you provided for them. This week, as we soar into Christmas, may you be blessed by the story of a young boy living in Uganda.

Want to take one of FWM's wheelchairs for a test drive? During normal business hours, visit the lobby at the Texas Street entrance of First Presbyterian Church-Midland, at the northwest corner of Texas and A streets, on the west side of downtown Midland. You can give the gift of mobility. The cost of $72.00 is a bargain to us ... but it is a life-changing gift to impoverished and disabled recipients.
