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.

OIF Commanding General Petraeus Recognizes
Wheelchairs for Iraqi Kids with CG Award Coin

Commanding General David Petraeus viewed CNN's report and had this to say:
"Brad, I just saw the CNN story on your program and wanted to thank you for what you're doing. Your initiative has proven to be a wonderful idea,
and you clearly have been doing a superb job turning that idea into reality. Needless to say, our troopers enjoy distributing the wheelchairs very
much, and the goodwill they generate has been significant.  Well done/thanks very much -- GEN David Petraeus, CG, MNF-I"

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.
