As a result of the recent earthquakes in Haiti, we've seen first-hand the effects of calamaties such as this on people's lives - tremendous loss of life, loss of jobs, loss of a functioning government, massive loss of limbs, etc.
We can make a difference in the life of someone who has lost a limb today by purchasing a wheelchair.
An opportunity has just been given to us by the Wheelchair Foundation and we can purchase a container (280 wheelchairs) for $25,000 instead of the usual rate of $42,000 for a container.
$89/chair rather than $150/chair.

 

If every rotary club in our district contributed $360, we could purchase 280 wheelchairs - and immediately change the lives of 280 people. If Rotary clubs and individual Rotarians and friends bought just two wheelchairs, what a difference it would make to 600 people or more.


When you get out of bed tomorrow morning and swing your legs onto the floor and begin to walk, remember there are countless millions who can't do this - they are deprived of mobility because of war, disease, accident, natural disaster or advanced age.

If you or your club would like to participate in this special opportunity and give independence to another human being , please make a check out to the "Wheelchair Foundation" and send to:
