Review for Momentum Wheels for Humanity, Chatsworth, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a long time and frequent volunteer for UCP Wheels for Humanity. I am a therapist that specializes in seating the disabled in wheelchairs.

Bringing mobility to the disabled is an inarguable worthwhile need. Disabled persons in economically poor regions of the world usually have even less resouces than the nondisabled of that region. Many times the disabled in these regions are literally confined inside the home to a bed, sofa or mat on the floor.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

witnessing the benefit of appropriate mobility to those served.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Continue to focus on the quality of each and every mobility device sent to another region. 100 wheelchairs in good working order that will last for a while are better than 1000 poor quality wheelchairs. UCP Wheels does a good job of this and it should strive to become even better.

Role:  Volunteer & I travel to where the wheelchairs have been shipped and work as a seating therapist.
