Special thanks to Green Bro industry for housing our wheelchairs for free. Also special thanks to the Las Vegas Rotary Club, Derek Duncan, the owner of Las Vegas new football league A7FL, Rosalyn and Sam from Memrea, Elks of Las Vegas, and the team at Green Bro for all your help..

On March 12th Nevada Wheelchair Foundation teamed up with our partner Richard Harris Law Firm and distributed 60 wheelchairs to local residents in need. Thankfully with the assistance of a number of volunteers, the distribution went very smoothly in the small window of time that we had. Nevada Wheelchair Foundation is closing in on their first 1,000 wheelchairs being distributed in the state of Nevada.

After 10,000 new wheelchairs given out free to our residences that need a wheelchair but can’t afford one, the NVWCF is back with the same goal to give 10,000 wheelchairs in the next (5) years.

Mission Statement

The Nevada Wheelchair Foundation is leading a local effort to create awareness for people with physical disabilities, promoting the joy of giving and friendship. To deliver a wheelchair in Nevada, to every child, teen, and adult who needs one for permanent use, can’t afford one.

With the help of local service clubs like the Lions and Rotary, the wheelchairs are delivered to the recipient’s right to their home.

The NVWCF would like to team up with KVVU 5 to make sure your viewers that need a Wheelchair will get one. Your station did a segment on us years ago was very successful in locating recipients.

Sincerely,

John Williams

From time to time when we distribute wheelchairs to individuals that are in desperate need of independence and have the need to be able to move around their homes and communities, we receive some pretty amazing letters from folks and we love to share their stories with you.

There are so many folks here in Nevada that need a wheelchair and we could use your help. Any donation amount helps us to continue to fund the distribution of wheelchairs to those that need them right here in our communities.

Thank you,
