I am a freelance journalist who did a story for the Walk On Foundation one year and I was very pleased. Josh is very professional and knowledgeable. Walk On helps those less fortunate get medical supplies and needs. They way they earn money for the foundation is through a fashion show and other events. The events are low cost but over the top. The fashion show is a low fee and includes a designer, an outfit for the show, a before party, swag bags, chinese auction, and a limo ride among others. Proceeds help those in need of the walk on foundation. They have various events throughout the year and are always very helpful, knowledgeable and professional! Definitely a worthy cause to invest time and money in.
Wonderful foundation. They have been a huge help to my friend and her family. THe community is very lucky to have them.
I am so PROUD to be able to play a small part in this wonderful organization! They help so many people in need and I'm happy to be able to help with fundraiser donations to keep their good work moving forward!
Walk in has helped our family with a fundraiser we are doing for my son to get a lift chair for our family van. They helped take a lot of stress off of us. Thank you Walk on.
My son in law had a brain stem tumor, and they was such a wonderful help, glad we found a great organization ty Terry
Amazing people and foundation, helped my brother in law and family so much with things needed after he became very ill.
A few years back our family was experiencing a difficult time with some health issues that had also put us in a financial bind. During that time we had to make a trip out of the area and if it weren't for Walk on Foundation; we would not have ben able to make the trip. We are extremely thankful that this organization was willing to reach out and fill in the gaps that we found ourselves in! Keep up the great work; you are a real blessing!
The walk on foundation, is an amazing organization that helps, children an parents in need. The volunteers are such great people. That devote their time and there prayers in so many. Lets take this time to thank this wonderful organization. Thank you all god bless
Walk on Foundation help a family of mine receive necessary therapy equipment. We had tried several other avenues and could not find funding. This little boy is now able to use his scooter board for his home therapy program as well as keep up with other kids that run around the house. He is able to use his octa-paddles to help strengthen his core/upper body and manuever around corners. Previously, this child would crawl around or hop around and at 7 yrs of age all he wanted to do was be able to play with his twin brother and friends. Thank you Walk on Foundation for providing joy in this young mans life and giving him the opportunity to play without hurting his body.

The Walk on Foundation helped me and my family so much. I was able to see my preemie daughter (24 weeks, 1 lb 10oz) and be so much more involved in her care in the 117 days she spent in the nicu. My daughter is now 14 months and doing amazing! Thank You!
I think it's a wonderful thing what the walk on foundation does for these children and parents that need help
Amazing non profit helped us afford to build a ramp for our soon to be adopted daughter!! Thank you so much for your kindness and quickness to help us!!
I have two children with numerous medical issues, but one of the big one is Dysautonomia. My children struggle with regulating their own body temperature. My daughter has lymphedema and wears compression garments and struggles with excess heat, my son wears AFOs for balance and walking plus a soft positioning sensory vest. For them wearing all of these garments keep them hot and then add in they can't keep themselves cool like needed; makes for a struggle to enforce these items for their health. Neurologist and Pediarician recommended cooling vests; however insurance didn't cover and with all our normal monthly costs I couldn't fit it in the budget adequately. Walk on foundation is blessing my children with the ability to keep cool during the summer, enjoy going to outdoor events.
Thank you Walk on Foundation.
Watkins family!
They have helped us out a few times when my husbandworlds be admitted in Philadelphia hospital unexpectedly. They are a great non profit organizationand we are blessed by their help.
My son was born in August 2015. He was healthy...then he ended up losing weight...and more weight. He went from 7lb 5oz to an even 6lbs by the end of August. He was admitted to Geisinger's Janet Weis Children Hospital the end of August and they were able to help him regain the weight he lost.
Now, October 2015, he is 9lb 13oz and continues to go to Geisinger quite a bit for various appointments.
Walk On has been a great help in helping us with travel costs.
My son started this organization, because I have M.S. He works daily trying to raise funds for all those who have medical needs. He does this after major surgerys and while recieving dialisis.
He also has a wife and four kids. He and his few volunteers, plan execute major fundraisers, such as Kids Fashion Show, Pumpkin Roll Sales, Christmas Extravaganza, and much more.
I am very proud of my son.
~~ The Walk on Fashion Show fundraising event, has been one of my favorite events to attend & volunteer for in years past. The kids have a blast, its such a nice day to spend, raising awareness and funds for those in our community that Josh and Walk On work so hard everyday to help financially and to see that they are not forgotten about, & show them they are cared for, loved and special. ~~
Awesome organization! Very kind & helpful people! They really deserve to be recognized for their kindness & dedication to our local community!
I have a special needs daughter who wanted to be like her sisters and ride bike with them. She was too big for all the bikes with training wheels. Walk on foundation helped us to get her an adaptive bike. When she got the bike her smile said it all. Walk on foundation is an amazing foundation that helps a lot of local families in need! Thank you walk on foundation for helping us help our daughter to be able to ride bike with her sisters.

The walk on foundation is absolutely amazing! I have a special needs daughter who wants to do what her older sisters do but is unable. It is absolutely heart breaking to watch. Walk on foundation made one of my daughters dreams come true. They helped us get her an adapted tricycle so she can ride bike with her sisters. This is also helpful with her physical therapy. They have truly blessed our family and I can't say enough good things about them!
Love this charity.. they have a fashion show for children with a day full of stuff to do.. we have done it 2 years now and can't wait to do it again.. lots of smiles on the kids face.. :-)
A great organization tan by wonderful selfless people. Have been part of many of their functions and loved every minute of it. These wonderful people go above and beyond what they need to do for people am blessed to.be able to say I know these people on a personal level.

I've attended the last two fashion shows that were held and I think it is just a beautiful thing that they are doing for the kids. Every kid deserves to feel that they are beautiful and I feel like they really help them to do that!
Walk on Foundation has helped my family tremendously with gas and food.money when my son was first diagnosed. They are a great organization
I had an absolutely fabulous experience with this organization during their Red Carpet event in 2015. The children all enjoyed dressing up, singing songs, watching Annie, and walking down the red carpet...The parents loved watching as well as knowing the money was going towards a great cause.
Walk On Foundation has been a blessing in our lives more than words can say. They were very quick getting back to me after my application for assistance was submitted and have just been so wonderful. Without them, my daughter would not have a very important medical device and we would still be living day bay day in fear. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for these wonderful people.
I currently serve as President so this review is little biased however I want to let the public know the following:
1) We are NEED based not income based. If you have a medical need that insurance will not cover we are here to try and assist.
2) We understand the importance for research funding, clinic trials etc and pray that in the future many diseases such area Cancer, Diabetes and Kidney Disease can be cured. However we are here for the NOW NEEDS. We want to make sure you have what you need now to beat these battles just in case that cure isn't found.
3) Our staff is completely volunteer. No 6 figure incomes here. We want every dollar going towards your medical needs.
4) We have VERY LOW OVERHEAD. We use $80 a year for our website and approximately $600 a year for insurance. Our meeting place is donated, our members pay for their own meals at dinners and our organization phone lines are even member ran and member paid.
5) Our volunteers host quarterly fundraisers to keep our budget increasing. We work hard to find the most cost effective yet reliable items when requested by an applicant. We work with many hotels, pharmacies and companies to keep costs down.
6) We have been honored as a top rated non profit in 3 of past 4 years and have ALL POSITIVE REVIEWS. We strive to do best for our clients in every situation.
7) While we maintain client confidentiality every penny spent and how it was spent can be found on our website under the NEWS section. The public deserves to know where their $ is going
Please share our name so we may share in helping more people.
Wow! What a great group of volunteers this is who give sacrificially to help others with medical needs.
We have worked side by side with them for 5 years and have seen their smiling faces, helping hands, and joyful spirits! Their hours of volunteering is admirable! Though their numbers are small, they are mighty in what they do!

Kingdom Kidz Inc. has worked along side Walk On Foundation in raising monies for their nonprofit organization. We joined them as Ashley's Angels to help a young lady in our area who needed a double lung transplant because of cystic fibrosis. Walk On Foundation spear headed many fundraisers for Ashley and gave unselfishly of their time and energy to help this young lady. Their volunteers work as a team and think of those in need and how to help them. We have also been involved in other fundraisers with Walk On and it is a joy to work with people who want to help those who have medical needs and can't afford them for one reason or another. Walk On finds a way to help and puts the community needs ahead of their own. This is truly a Great Nonprofit Organization.
thank you so much for getting us the transportation help we needed this time, because of the holidays coming up this was a huge help...
The Walk On Foundation is a great organization!!! Great people with big hearts to help those with medical needs. If I had to recommend an organization to help those with medical needs The Walk On Founadtion would be it.
Our organization has worked with the Walk On Foundation and we think they have a unique ability to use their minimal resources to help many people. In this time of competing for the charity dollar, Walk On Foundation is a good 'bang for your bucks.'
This organization works very hard all year to help ppl with medical needs. It operates through fund raising and donations, it is amazing what they do with limited support! I can only imagine what could b done with more funds!

This organization helps many with medical needs. It operates with a team of volunteers who have experienced personally or within their family some kind of medical diagnosis. This team continues to have constant fund raisers inorder to fill needs. This foundation is not like nationally supported organizations, so they operate on a relatively small budget, but always impress with the amount of help they are able to extend to those in need. I truly am thankful for each person who supports this awesome organization.
My son is severely autistic and hard of hearing. My son has serious communication problems and Walk On foundation provided us with an IPAD to help improve his communication needs.I am so grateful and humbled by their gift to help improve my son's quality of life. Thank God there are organizations out there like Walk On Foundation to meet peoples needs, I will now be volunteering to help Walk On Foundation out with whatever they need to try to pay it forward, I am thankful to be helped in this way.

As a community member seeing what this group does for others is heart warming. These volunteers put in countless hours to make sure that others are getting items they desperately need whether it be a ride to an appointment or securing physical equipment to make life easier. Josh leads a great group of people. May the good Lord bless you all richly.
As another non profit, this non profit reached out to me to help our charity out. In this world of every man/woman for himself/herself it has been so refreshing to come together with another charity that is doing good for all the right reasons. Looking forward to a long relationship with such a great organization!!
I was looking for a wheelchair for my 92 year old Mother. I asked if there was anyone who knew if anyone could help. I was directed to Joshua Richards. I got an immediate reply. Joshua had one we could use. Thank you so much for helping us. Joshua had his Dad Joe bring it to me. Everyone was so helpful and kind. God is awesome and so is this organization. Thank You again for helping us.

My son has many serious health conditions, one of them is non verbal autism. He is smart as a whip, he just isn't able to express himself verbally, and this has been so sad and frustrating for us all, especially him. We needed help purchasing a communication app for his iPad that was just more than we could afford. I came across the Walk On Foundation and was blown away by how open they were to help! Asking for help is never easy, and they handled our request with so much dignity and respect. The process was easy and quick. The people with this great org are really in it for all the right reasons...to HELP!!! Thank you to everyone at the Walk On Foundation. We are forever grateful to you for giving our son a "voice!"
This organization helped my husband get new hearing aids which he desperately need and there was no way we could afford it on our own. They were extremely helpful, kind, and generous and I can not thank them enough for their help.
I was part of a fundraiser with my daughter for this group and they were amazing to all who were there. They do amazing thing for people!
Walk on Foundation has helped my family at least 3 times now. Most recently when we had to take our 3 year old son to NYC for his 16th surgery. Thank you for all you do!

My husband has severe back pain. And we are very poor, barely making it. This organization paid for a TENS unit for him to help ease his pain. We would never have been able to afford it on our own! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I recently changed my son's clinic from one very close to home to a much better one that was around 3 hrs away and after our first trip to the new clinic I realized just how expensive it would be to continue taking my son there but we NEEDED to for his health. I asked the walk on foundation for help with gas to get to his next appt because it was so close to his last appt and very near to the holidays and they stepped right up and help me out with the cost of gas to get my P-nut to his much needed appt. As a family of 5 being soley supported by my husband's job we make it but sometimes we need a little extra help and they (the Walk on Foundation) stepped right up and helped us when we needed it most. This is a great group of caring people looking to help others in need. What a blessing they are to so many. Thank you so much for caring about others and helping when it is needed.
The most heartfelt thanks goes out to the Walk On Foundation for their generosity and help in our time of need. The Walk On Foundation "walked right on in" and paid an important test my daughter needed which wasn't covered by insurance. It was such a HUGE help in the steps to get our daughter better! I can't even begin to thank organizations such as the Walk On Foundation. THANK YOU!!!!
The most gracious thanks goes out to the Walk On Foundation for their generosity and help in our time of need. My youngest son who is 11 years old and has been dealing with multiple disabilities since the day he was born. Most of my pay goes towards medical bills, medical supplies, insurance premiums, and lots of medicine. It has lead us to such a financial hardship that we are struggling to make ends meet on a regular basis due to fact of traveling back and forth to hospital in DC. The Walk On Foundation gave me a check in amount of $300.00 to go towards our trip that we had this month for his medical care, gas and housing. It was such a HUGE help, so that I can continue making trips back and forth from the hospital and housing each time. There are no words that we can't even express in thank organizations such as the Walk On Foundation. WE WILL LIKE TO THANK YOU WITH ALL OUR HEART!!

The Walk on Foundation Inc. is a terrific non profit organization that helps those that really need to be helped. They do unique and exciting fund raising events, which my daughter and I take part in whenever we can. And knowing those that run the organization and what they have to overcome on their own they are still willing to do so much for others. I only wish I had more time to help by volunteering.
The most heartfelt thanks goes out to the Walk On Foundation for their generosity and help in our time of need. My husband is 49 and has cystic fibrosis. He is disabled. Most of my pay goes towards medical bills, oxygen bills , insurance premiums and lots of medicine. It has led to such a financial hardship that I have been forced into bankruptcy. The Walk On Foundation "walked right on in" and paid the pharmacy bill in full for me!! It was such a HUGE help and a great relief, as the bill was so great that his medicine was not being released until I made some form of payment, which was not always possible. I can't even begin to thank organizations such as the Walk On Foundation. To be able to put my head on my pillow at night and know there is one less worry is indescribable. THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!
Walk On Foundation , Milton Pa. In March of this year {2013} my wife Marlene found out her Breats Cancer had returned. With myself being disabled, and living on a fixed income ,our hope was to find some monetary help to cover our cost .Little did we expect help to come from a organization ,{that until recently was operating from the home of a director}, as tiny as Walk- On Foundation . All the other national groups gave us the runaround but not Jo-Anna or Josh . They made Marlene fill special and sent us not one , but two grants to help cover our travel cost. Marlene's health has inproved and we are looking forward to the future. I just wish that there were more caring , helpful, and understanding groups in this world like Walk -On Foundation
Walk On Foundation is there to assist with medical needs, a true blessing to some. My husband was diagnosed on Oct 15th 2011 with a stage 2 cancerous brain stem tumor and spent 8 whole months hospitalized enduring 11 total surgeries and relearning to walk and talk again. He was released home to us on May 29th 2012 needing wheel chair assist and having a trach, feeding tube, and ventilator at nights. This past year he has been getting stronger each day and had got great news that a Specialist in Pittsburgh would like to evaluate him to see if there's hope to get him to swallow since he has gone almost two years with nothing by mouth. Walk on helped us achieve this trip and from that they found if my husband turns his head to the Left and start to swallow and hold that swallow for 3 seconds and then swallow that he was able to swallow his saliva. By phone calls over the next few weeks, this Dr has got my husband to chew ice and swallow using that same technique and the Dr also set up appts for my husband to see a specialist in Reading Pa that is alot closer to us than Pittsburgh but still 2.5 hrs from us to further work with my husband to get him to progress more. Our trips are 3 times a week to these appts and Thank God for Walk On to be there to kindly help make this possible. Truely a blessing to us as we hope one day in the near future that my husband, our four boys, and I will be able to sit down together again and enjoy a meal together. So Much thanks to Walk Om!!!
My son Joey is a bright, happy 3 yr old little boy with a fondness for Thomas the Train, Matchbox Cars, and VeggieTales. He was also born into this world with Complex I Mitochondrial disorder, a fairly rare disease where the cells in his body cannot function properly. This disease causes Joey to suffer from extreme fatigue, overall muscle weakness, swallowing and chewing difficulties, and chroic dehydration. It also attacks his 'autonomic' nervous system--the part of our bodies that automatically regulates things without any input on our part. In particular, he has no ability to regulate his own body heat (it's like not having a thermostat). In the winter, his muscles "seize up" and cause him pain if he gets too cold. And in the summer, even in mildly warm weather, his body will just continue to overheat and he is at constant risk of heat stroke. The winter months were fairly easy to navigate--warm thick clothes for outdoor play, turn the heater up and pile on blankets if things get to0 cold inside. But the warmer months offered weeks where Joey would need to be in our home, with the air-conditioning blasting 24/7, unable to go outside or even ride in the car or do errands, as the sun beating down or high humidity would cause him to overheat, even in an air-conditioned car.
Our son's Geneticist recommended a cooling vest for Joey--a life-saving device that, once activated, would constantly keep Joey cool in the summer, enough where he would be able to enjoy the outdoors and be like a "normal kid" for awhile. She even recommended a "cooling blanket," which acts in much of the same way, that can be draped over Joey in car rides and at night, to further help keep him cool. The particular brand and model she recommended were out of our budget, however, and the insurance did not classify them as a form of Medical Equipment that they would reimburse.
A simple Google Search brought up the "Walk on Foundation," and after a quick emaii to their staff, inquiring if our particular need was something they would consider, I received a prompt response to fill out an application, and attach some form of documentation that verifies the disease he had, and they would address it in their next meeting. Within 48 hours I had received an answer that they would be able to help my son with this life-changing equipment. Even when the particular type of vest I asked for was out of stock, and we had to "upgrade" to another style that cost more money, the organization was quick to ask ME if it was ok if they changed the order, before even going about handling the 'red tape' on their end.
My son lives in a world where the odds are stacked against him everyday. It is such a blessing to know that there are organizations out there like the Walk On Foundation that are willing to make his days just alittle bit easier. I am so excited for the vest to arrive--to take my son out to his little swingset, to chase a ball around the yard, to go for walks again in his little red wagon. This organization has changed my sons life, and I will never, ever forget what they have done for me, and for my little Joey.
I have attended 2 fundraisers for Walk On, so far. I was a vendor at their Christmas Extravaganza and my kids participated in the most recent fashion show. Not only did the fashion show raise money for people in need of help, it made a lot of children happy and gave them an experience they won't soon forget. I have also donated medical equipment and books. I think they do a great service and wish I had more to help them.

The Walk on Foundation is an amazing nonprofit organization! I would recommend this organization to other people in need of medical items. Thank you Josh Richard, the committee, and all the people that donated to help my daughter Abigail have the gift of a voice(Ipad2 w/App). We are so greatful for this. We will never forget that you all had a big part in helping my baby girl speak and making easier for us to know what she needs. --- Rebecca L. Yost
This is an awesome organization that looks out for other people. Its about time there is an organization that helps adults as well at kids.
On 11/10/12 I attended a Christmas Extravaganza sponsored by the Walk On Foundation. Let me just say that this group of good hearted men & women put a tremendous amount of work into making sure that all attendees had a wonderful experience, especially the children. This group provides medical services to many needy individuals throughout the year. I am proud to be associated with this group through fundraisers. They are without a doubt a very special group continually doing self-less acts for so many. Keep up the great job Walk On!

I have been involved with Walk On for a few years now and could not be more proud to be associated with such a wonderful group of people. I have been involved with many of their fundraisers, both donating items for Chinese auctions or raffles as well as just monetary contributions. This group does such a wonderful job providing for those in need that I 'm sure to be a part of this group for years to come. They always keep updates on who they have been able to help. I'm proud to be a small part of Walk On.
I just recently learned of this organization & I think that what they do is admirable. The things I have read about them is amazing. They deserve more then just praise but a show of appreciation. They are a group of hard working individuals with a great desire to serve those in need. KUDOS to you all!!!
I have not been helped personally by this group but have seen the amazing work they have done in and around the community. They give unselfishly and 100% of themselves.
Walk On Foundation is helping me out greatly. I've been ill since 2/2012 following a bowel obstruction. The drs. Both local and big teaching hospital in the state have been unable to figure out the problem. They are recommending I be seen at Mayo Clinic in Rochchester, Mn. As they specialize in rare and unusual things. Since I don't receive much money in in a month's time I was looking for some help for hotel rooms. The walk on Foundation has been gracious enough to help me out with my room situation for a few nights. I am beyond greatful.
I love the fact that this group works hard to provide for people in the community. They go above and beyond, putting those who need help first. Amaziing! Even when times are tough for them, they are always putting someone elses needs first.
This organization is of utmost importance to my heart. Not only has the family behind the organization struggled with their own health issues but they put other peoples health issues first! The organization goes above and beyond the call of duty to help out their fellow man. This has always been a dream of Josh's to help his fellow man and he's doing an amazing job of it! I've known the family for about 6 years and have all good to say about them and their organization. God is watching them and their efforts to help the people who just like them have health issues. Amazing job Josh & The WOF team! You're amazing!
I can not say enough about Walk On, the people I spoke with were professional and caring. From the moment I told them we needed a wheelchair for my son, they were on it. In just a few short weeks we had the wheelchair we so desperately needed. Now we can get out on walks as a family, go to the store, football games, anything we want, all because of Walk On.Thank you so much for being here for our family!
I am amazed at the time, energy, and excitement that "Walk On Foundation " has to help raise money and support for those in need in our community.
The founders of the foundation have put their heart and soul into the foundation and everytime I hear about what they are doing it is always a very positive impact on the lives of individuals who need help and support....May God continue to Bless the Walk on Foundation, Inc.
This is a amazing organization! These people work hard, with loving hands and hearts. In todays world it is nice to see how much they do for others and ask for nothing in return.
I have worked very closely with The Walk-On Foundation and i can tell you that the founder's are the MOST selfless and caring people there are! An amazing foundation with a history of love and compassion for their community!
Thank you to the people who step up and make Walk On Foundation work. It is an amazing Foundation whom has helped a lot of people at a time that they need it most in their lives.
Walk on Foundation is an amazing organization that has helped many people in our community. From Peanut dogs, to handicapped vans, to wheelchairs, to bed tents, to hospital beds, Walk on has contributed many useful items to people who truly needed them. Walk on has changed the lives of many individuals and made our community a better place as a result.
I have seen the volunteers of this organization drop everything in their lives to help sumone who needed it. They truly care and do everything possible to help those in need. They work hard are compassionate and understanding. Their work shud be an inspiration to us all.
I KNOW MANY IF NOT MOST OF THE PEOPLE THIS ORGANIZATION HAS HELPED IN ITS' YEARS OF EXISTENCE. THEY ARE VERY CARING AND PASSIONATE IN THEIR QUEST TO HELP ANYONE IN NEED. THE SIMPLEST THINGS WE WHO ARE HEALTHY TAKE FOR GRANTED CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE TO THOSE WHO NEED PEACE OF MIND TO BE SAFE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT AND NOT WORRY IF THEY WILL AWAKE ON THE FLOOR. EXPENSES THAT OCCUR IN JUST TAKING A CHILD TO A SPECIALIST OUT OF THE AREA IS HARD ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE OFF WORK, THE GAS AND MEAL EXPENSE DURING A DAY TRIP. LIFE IS HARD ENOUGH AND THE HELP THAT IS GIVEN THROUGH THIS FOUNDATION IS SUCH A BLESSING!
The walk on foundation is a God providing organization! They see a need and fill it . Always there to help ! Thank you for reaching out.

I am the caretaker of my disabled mother who has a lot of medical problems including osteoporosis and fibromyalgia making it very difficult for her to get around. I have tried, to no advial, to obtain a power chair for her to improve her quality of life and to increase her mobility. With in a month of contacting the walk on foundation my mother was approved and given a power chair. For the first time in many years she was able to Independably take herself from my home to her's which is across town. It was amazing to see. Thank you SO much for your kindness and generosity!
The ALR Post 35 out of Hughesville, PA will be holding a ride for the Foundation. We pick a new Foundation every yearto do a ride for. This one goes above what they need to do to help others when no oneelse is willing to help them.
In the passed I have worked as a photographer for multiple events for Walk On Foundation, as well as an event coordinator for 4 events. It always amazes me to see how many applications come in to one single organization, Walk On does what they can to try to make sure each and every one gets met. Even if that means adding another fundraiser, or assisting the applicant in finding another organization to better meet their needs.
My daughter was 13 months old when Walk On came to our rescue. My daughter required a special high calorie milk that we could not find ANYWHERE nor afford more than a case or 2 of it. Walk On provided enough for 4 months and it helped my daughter grow and thrive while on it. Without Walk On i'm not sure what we could have done.
I have donated items for walk on foundation. I believe this organization is God sent for those who desperately need help. Walk on is a positive organization and look foreward helping them out in ghe future.
Walk On began as a concert series called Walk On Fest that was organized to raise funds for those with Multiple Sclerosis in Central PA. After having this concert series, we felt there was a need to help in a broader scope. This is when we started a program called Walk On Heroes on the site Wish Upon A Hero (www.wishuponahero.com) where we had the platform to grant many wishes in the medical and basic necessity areas. After granting many wishes under that organization we applied for our own 501c3 status. September of 2009 we were granted that status and have been able to assist with many wonderful grants including raising funds for a peanut allergy detection dog, a prosthetic eye, a double lung transplant, a NASA suit for a boy with severe sun allergies and many other things that you can view right on our website along with the cost of those items. I have served as the Founder, as a volunteer, and as the President and in each of these positions I have learned so much and have been so blessed to see the many things our team has been able to assist with. Many lives are being changed. Please join us in changing these lives. It may be yours some day.
I worked with Walk On Foundation when they were coordinating help on Wish Upon A Hero. Many people were helped with assitance from this group including much needed medical equipment, assistance to appointments and countless other items. They are always looking at ways to be able to continue to help those with medical type needs.
As a single mother of 2 children I was devastated when I was denied prescription coverage for medicine I need on a daily basis. Thank God that the Walk On Foundation was able to help me get my medicine and get me on the road to feeling "normal". I can't thank this organization enough for what it did for me.
our multiply handicapped son was in dire need of an enclosed bed to keep him safe at night. The bed that he had was one purchased for him when he was 3 years old, and he had severely outgrown this bed...at the time of need, he was 16 years old and 5' 11. At the time, there was a waiver freeze in our state, so we were looking at at least a 3 yr wait for a new bed...and he could not wait that long. Thank GOD for Walk On Foundation, they not only found a suitable bed for Evan, but were able to arrange for it to be shipped here. Were it not for them, Evan would still be sleeping bow legged or bent in his tiny bed....THANKS to Walk On, our son now can stretch out and sleep comfortably in a beautiful fully enclosed bed . We cannot ever thank them enough for this amazing blessing. When you cannot find a way to get what you need, Walk on and it's amazing "director" Joshua Richard can find a way to make your dream a reality....God Bless you Walk On...we will never forget your blessing to our hom!!!!!
As a survivor of peritoneal cancer and stem cell transplant recipient, I have to travel to Houston, TX frequently for check ups with my doctors at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Joshua Richard mentioned Walk on Foundation to my husband one evening in a sports chat conversation. We had just discovered that day that the assistance with airfare that we had been expecting had fallen through and God opened another door of opportunity in the most unsuspected place. Joshua and Walk on Foundation granted our wish for assistance for roundtrip airfare for my husband and I so that I could continue under the fine care of my doctors at MD Anderson. Thank you Joshua and Walk on Foundation!
What an AMAZING organization. Walk On Foundation got me a pediatric pulse oximeter for my daughter who was suffering from SVT. I was not in a financial situation to do it myself and they came to my rescue. It truly touched my heart that someone who had never met us helped me out to make my life easier in dealing with her illness. They are my Angels :)
I was in desperate need of a protection helmet for my son who had just had several brain surgeries and the Walk on Foundation got my son the helmet he needed to protect his head so he could be a kid! I had no other way of getting a helmet and financially i was drained from the surgeries. Thank you so much walk on foundation!!
When you have a sick kid you have so many worries on every thing . Due to the big harts of the Walk on foundation we can worries a little bit less.We have many trips to Chop coming up with there help we will get there for are little boys bone marrow transplant. Thank you for lowering the stress level.

i just heard of this group and did my homework on them and so far they did many great things... havent heard or seen anything otherwise.
I have just recently heard of the walk on foundation and I have done some checking and to my amazment I have not heard a single bad thing!
I was in need of some medication at the time i had contacted Mr. Richards to see if he would be able to help me with the purchase of my meds for my Depression that i have alot of problems with and was in need of it and didnt have insurance at the time and helped me out alot to pay for my meds. I really Appreciate everything this Organization does for people it is phenominal in what they can do to help someone out. Again I would like to thank Walk On Foundation for helping me out with my needs.
Thank you so much Walk On Foundation.

The walk on foundation amazes me. They help so many people. My family is lucky enough to have our medical expenses, but it breaks my heart for those families who are not covered by insurance. For people like that there is walk on foundation. I have seen on the website the stories and the amazing grateful people they help.
Over the past few years, I have made several donations to Walk-On Foundation. I have seen the wrok they do in granting wishes for those who are in need of medical equipment. They have helped change the lives of many folks with medical needs. I like to see where my donations go, and the success stories of the individuals who receive the medical equipment they needed. Walk-On is on my top list of charity's to help when I am able.
Walk on Foundation helped me get a shower chair when I was unable to stand to get a shower or sit to bathe. I feel blessed just to know that there is an agency out there who will help with our needs when we need them the most. This is a very good organization and I wish that they will be able to continue to operate and help others.
First i'd like to say that without this organization I would still be taking medicine that was hurting me. Trying for 5 months to get a blood pressure moniter and not getting any help from my insurance, this organization stepped forward and got me a b/p moniter. my doctor finally realized that the meds he had me on would cause such a drop in pressure when sleeping that i was having trouble breathing. WALK ON FOUNDATION IS MY HERO AND LIFE SAVER. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. YES I AM YELLING THIS . THANK YOU AGAIN.
I have a child with several health problems. Thankfully we have insurance to cover medical expenses but they do not cover homeopathic remedies. Since medical treatments were not working we wanted to try a Lavender Bear that heats in the microwave for my then 2 year old son. He could put it on his legs when his PLMD and restless leg syndrom acted up. I couldn't afford the $35 bear. Walk on Foundation contacted the company that has the bears and she donated one to my son. We can do a lot of things from home, but calling someone to say you don't have the money is hard. WOF did what I couldn't do for my son. Thanks again WOF!!!!
as the mother to many special blessings our infant son was in need of an oxygen/heart monitor. Walk on Heros Foundation stepped up front and forward and made sure that his needs were provided for. our son has left our arms for Jesus' but WOHF made his quality of life much more comfortable while he was on this earth. we are forever endebted to this awesome organization as they stepped up as others stepped back. thank you and God bless. sue tolin, mom to Christopher BayLee Tolin
I am a 30 year old female with different medical conditions. I was in need of money to travel a distance to pick up a handicapp van and I had no means to pick it up. WOF provided the money needed for me to be able to get the van and bring it home. I am greatful for what they have done. I had no way to be able to pay for the travel.
I cannot say enough good about this foundation! Our son suffers from a large array of disabilities, and was in need of a fully enclosed bed to keep him safe at night. The bed he had been using was one he had had since age 3...and he was now 16...and no longer fit into his old bed. I posted a wish on Wish Upon A Hero, for a device to fit over his bed, to keep him safe at night... this was seen by Walk On...and they found someone to donate a fully enclosed bed to our son...not only the bed, but they also found a company to ship it to us as well! God bless them for this amazing gift to our child...finally he can sleep safe, and comfortably in a bed that fits him! His first night in that bed...he gave us the biggest smile...a smile we hadn't seen in a LONG while! He was SO happy to be able to stretch out, and not have to sleep with bent legs,all scrunched up.... Walk On is a Godsend to those of us who simply cannot afford the costs of much needed medical equipment...We never could have gotten this bed without their amazing help! Walk On Foundation has this family's undying gratitude and heart-felt thanks....they are simply put...Amazing!
I was having a horrible time with allergies and it was affecting my asthma. The same with my 6 yr old daughter. I wished for one air filtration allergy machine. I would then lug it back and forth up and down the steps of my apartment. Walk On Foundation generously donated two of these machines so I could have one on each floor. Within 2-3 days of receiving the machines, I could not believe the relief! If it was not for Walk On Foundation, I would be so much worse of health wise. They help many people like me who are dealing with no insurance or are under-insured. They are truly amazing!!!!
The Walk on Foundation has been generously helping us raise money for my son to get an allergy detection dog. Once we contacted them within a week they had set up newspaper and radio interviews, 50/50 raffle ticket fundraiser, and had a stand set up for us at their annual Christmas Extravaganza. All of this helped to raise awareness to our need and help collect much more money then we could have on our own. Without the Walk on Foundation's help I know that we wouldn't have come as far as we have with raising the funds needed for my son's service dog.
I can not praise this foundation anymore, to anyone, than I already have!! I never realized there was such an organization till I saw it, by mistake, on the internet. I was searching for help for my one year old nephew and family- that has biliary atresia and recently had a liver transplant. i contacted Josh at the WALK ON FOUNDATION and explained our situation and what their needs were and he got back to me within 24 hrs and they had been willing to offer help to the family.
I'm really impressed that all the funds collected goes basically to help those in need, not to any CEO or executive of the foundation. What really took that impression overboard was the fact that he and his family are in need themselves and are so willing to help or give to others. Josh, his family and foundation are just what the Central Susquehanna Valley needs and my husband and I are not only thankful to them for the support towards his brother's family but also will support them anyway possible!
Much gratitude, thanx and praises go out to this group for touching the local families that are in need!!
Keep up the good work!
