A Way To Open the Door By Bringing Blessing.

In some locations around the globe, it is difficult to get the respect and cooperation of local leaders when desiring to do a mission trip there. There is a means to open that door by serving local people with disabilities by giving the gift of mobility.

Free Wheelchair Mission is a Christian non-profit mission out of Irvine, CA which believes that when Jesus Christ lived in this world, He had special love for the sick and crippled. They try to share the same concern now for the poor, especially those with physical immobility. They manufacture and distribute low cost (less then $50 shipped) wheelchairs free to those in need, regardless of one's religious affiliation if any. TWENTY SEVEN YEARS AGO, the sight of a crippled Moroccan woman crawling across a dirt road planted a seed that germinated in 1999 when Don Schoendorfer, founder of Free Wheelchair Mission, invested his education and professional expertise as a PhD Mechanical Engineer to create a simple, rugged, and inexpensive wheelchair. The mental picture of the crawling woman's anguish and loss of dignity had haunted him for years until God opened a path for Dr. Schoendorfer.
