American Wheelchair Mission in Appalachia

Jul 11, 2017 | Disability, Outreach, Public Awareness

Three West Virginia Centers for Independent Living received 75 manual wheelchairs of various sizes for distribution to those in need. Brynn Hochman and her family from Los Angeles have been working with American Wheelchair Mission as part of a humanitarian Bat Mitzvah project. Initially they focused their efforts to bring wheelchairs to Vietnam, Africa, and Israel. They are now bringing their humanitarian efforts to Appalachia and have partnered with the CILS to identify individuals who need these chairs.

Please call us at (304) 296-6091 or your local CIL for more information.  A list of state CILS can be found at:  http://nwvcil.org/state-centers-for-independent-living/.
