Wheelchairs for Kids International

• United States

• Founder, Executive Director

  • Sep 2013 - Present

  Wheelchairs for Kids International provides appropriate supportive wheelchairs to children in developing nations with no access to them. The charity was founded as a result of my desire to continue helping children with disabilities who need wheelchairs after doing so in Iraq for the previous eight years in partnership with US troops. Currently my volunteers and I visit Guatemala once a year to help groups of children in need receive their first wheelchairs. We've provided pediatric wheelchairs to 1345 children in Iraq and over 400 children in Guatemala. Show less

Wheelchairs for Iraqi Kids Project

• Founder

  • Aug 2005 - Jun 2013

  In August 2005, I founded WFIK to fulfill requests of US Army medics who needed pediatric wheelchairs for disabled Iraqi children. Since that time, more than 835 children and 200 adults have received wheelchairs sponsored through donations via my non-profit partner in the US - Reach Out and Care Wheels. In February 2008, CNN covered a wheelchair distribution and gave two reports which generated over $200,000 in donations and a response from Commanding General Petraeus. In May 2008, I was allowed to stop contracting and take WFIK full time. In 2009, I was chosen as one of CNN's top ten humanitarian Heroes, and appeared on the CNN Heroes TV show in Hollywood with actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. http://cnn.com/video/?/video/living/2010/03/05/cnnheroes.blauser.tribute.cnn Show less
