Review for Momentum Wheels for Humanity, Chatsworth, CA, USA
UCP Wheels for humanity is a tremendous orginazation that collects donated wheelchairs from end users, suppliers and manufacturers, refubishes the equpment and sends them to developing countries around the world. Without this group many people would be left without equipment and continue to crawl around on the ground or be stuck at home without the ability to get out in the community or attend school.
I have been on 6 trips with them and have seen first hand what this group offers people. I have seen the joy and smiles on their faces as they receive their equipment. I try and do 1 trip a year and will continue to do these trips for as long as i am able to. I pay for my own airafare. As a supplier i obtain donated equipment from my customers to donate to Wheels and the clients are grateful to donate their old equipent knowing that it is going to a good cause.
As the economy is struggling Wheels needs as much help as they can get through financial donations to continue to do the great work they are commited to doing.

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
have met some wonderful people. very gratifying and humbles you. the fitting process makes you as a seating specialist learn to be creative with what tools you have to work with to make the equipment work for the person in front of you. I have worked with some wonderful therapists and other seating specialists on my trips
