Wheelchairs 4 Kids Annual Benefit presented by Bella Med Spa by J. David Wright

By Madeline Robinson Wheelchairs 4 Kids, Executive Director

Thank you so much for making our "Wheely Good Time" presented by Bella Med Spa such a success. We hope it was as much fun for you as it was for us. The support in that room was overwhelming and confirms that we are on the right track! It felt like a huge hug. We raised over $27,000! We have pulled kids off the waiting list and have started working on getting them the equipment they so desperately need. We are hoping to have many of them done before the Holidays!

I cannot express enough gratitude for all of the folks that supported and came out for this event, it exceeded our wildest expectations. A big thanks to the West Pasco group Junior Service League and Trinity Rotary for their turnout and support.

Wheelchairs 4 Kids is dedicated to improving the lives of children with physical disabilities by providing wheelchairs, home and vehicle modifications as well as other assistive devices. Many children living with physical disabilities are in wheelchairs that are too small, in disrepair, or do not fit the needs of the child.

Children outgrow their wheelchairs before government or insurance programs will allow for a replacement. Not only is it unsafe for a child to be in a chair that is inadequate for their needs, but 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. With your help, Wheelchairs 4 Kids is prepared to address this much neglected need.

Please take a moment and visit our website at www.Wheelchairs4Kids.org. Check out our "Meet the Kids" page. We'll be updating it shortly with the children that we are helping with funds from the event. Also, please become a fan of our Facebook page. You'll find updates on the kids and what we are planning next. Thank you so much for your support and kind contribution. We are so humbled by your kindness and belief in what we are doing. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us at 727-946-0963. Thanks for caring and helping us create something special.

Thanks so much!
