Greetings and happy Friday!
As Founder and President of Free Wheelchair Mission, I have had the pleasure of watching our annual Magic of Mobility event grow over the last 11 years. This year, thanks to you, I am humbled and honored to share that as a result of this year’s event, 13,935 people will now receive a wheelchair. What an incredible accomplishment!

Want to take one of these 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 ... and there are times when your contribution will be matched, reaching not one - but TWO, and sometimes FOUR recipients. Please note on your check "Wheelchair Gift."
