| Welcome! Wheelchairs for Iraqi Kids helps needy disabled children of Iraq by providing high quality pediatric wheelchairs, each sponsored by individual and corporate donors. Sponsors receive a picture of the disabled children as they are placed in their wheelchair for the first time! This is a unique opportunity, as families around the world have the opportunity to directly impact the life of an Iraqi family with a real need in a big way. This incredible gift literally changes the life of the child as well as the family. Disabled children discover a new level of mobility not previously experienced. The family no longer carries the heavy child from place to place. And the heart of the community is touched, resulting in long-lasting friendships! Please consider donating to this worthwhile project to help disabled kids receive a precious valuable gift which will impact their lives in a profound manner.

| Meet Ben, a hero for disabled Iraqi children! A young man named Ben watched the CNN report on this project, and decided he would personally get involved to make a difference in the lives of the children I am trying to help. With help from Helen, his Mom, he set up to play his guitar on the streets of San Francisco and played his guitar for two hours, raising an incredible $2269.46! Thanks to Ben, many children who have never had a wheelchair will now know the freedom and mobility which a high quality pediatric wheelchair can bring. Ben - YOU ARE THEIR HERO! And MY HERO! Ben has been a real trooper, raising donations many weekends since March - even while he was sick. He's encountered many generous people who have encouraged him and donated money right into his guitar case to support the WFIK project with his Mom standing by. However, he's also endured the ridicule of a few adults and classmates for standing up for the disabled children of Iraq and doing the right thing. It's been a great maturing experience for him, and he's a better guy for it! Ben set up his own website and blog (I Play for Peace.net). As of 25 April 2009, Ben has raised $13,590.34, and every penny counts! Because of Ben's efforts, the lives of Forty four Iraqi children and their families will be changed in a big way. |
