The Wheelchair Team assesses the mobility needs of each resident, prescribes the appropriate wheelchair, and sources mobility equipment. This requires rebuilding donated wheelchairs to meet the needs of each resident. Within MSC Jamaica alone, there are over 200 children and adults who require a wheelchair. The wheelchairs are shipped to Jamaica and the team returns to fit residents into their "new" chairs. The team also repairs wheelchairs and trains staff on seating and maintenance.
With a wheelchair that fits their needs, the residents can grow and do the things they love, like spending time with friends. Please consider giving today—your generosity truly makes a difference!
