Free Wheelchair Mission
For just $59.20, you can purchase a wheelchair in someone's name. By purchasing this wheelchair, you are providing dignity to someone who has been on the ground. This video explains it so much better than I could.

When you purchase a wheelchair, you receive a beautiful card explaining the donation plus a gift card for that wheelchair. The recipient can then go online and register that card. By registering the card, they are able to choose where the wheelchair goes. Awesome!
Oh - if you live in the Ohio Valley and wish to participate and donate, check out this link to take part in a special Ohio Valley donation campaign!
World Vision
World Vision is a fantastic organization. They provide disaster relief plus general aid throughout the world. I have purchased items through World Vision for years. They also offer child sponsorship for those who wish to sponsor a needy child.
Check out the gift catalog! You can donate in someone's name and change lives all at once. Here are some gift options:
- 2 Chickens $25 - provide eggs, meat, and an income from bred chickens to a family without reliable food sources.
- $350 Worth of Necessities in USA $25 - diapers, clothing, blankets, shoes, toiletries for struggling families here in the US.
- Provide clean water with a Share of a Deep Well for just $100.
- Education for 1 Child $32
Just think. Americans - not worldwide - spend $10 BILLION on Christmas gifts. How much of an impact could we have on the hurting and desperate in this world if we simply allocated a small 10% of our regular Christmas budget to helping those less fortunate? Chew on that!
Merry Christmas!
