Recycling Wheelchairs

    Sun Wheeler Sports is collecting gently-used wheelchairs for redistribution or recycling to those in need of mobility assistance.  From local to international needs, there are tens of thousands of disabled people who do not have a wheelchair.  Serviceable wheelchairs are collected and local needs are considered first. If there is not a suitable match, the wheelchair is sent out to Wheels for the World, a division of JAF Ministries.

    So go to your storage areas and retrieve your old, but functioning, wheelchairs.  Get them back into circulation for those who need them to improve their quality of life.  If the wheelchair is in need of minor repairs, i.e. spoke replacement, new tires/tubes, needs new cushion, etc., it is suitable for contribution.  All others, it will not be worth the time and expense to recondition the wheelchairs.  You will be helping out a neighbor, even if they happen to live in China.
