What We Do

Wheel With Me Foundation is a 501(c)3 Non-profit that offers connection and support both locally and online to help foster independence and a well-rounded life for wheelchair users.

The Wheel With Me Foundation is focused on a growing community of men and women who are wheelchair users. Our mission is to support and grow the independence of wheelchair users with peer education, community meet-ups, online empowerment events, and independence programming! Our long-term goal is to bridge the gap between inpatient rehabilitation and independent living through peer education with the ultimate goal of constructing a transitional home to bridge the gap between inpatient rehabilitation and the real world. The residents of the Wheel With Me Campus will be accompanied by a caring staff member ready to coach them through their journey. Each resident will learn wheelchair skills, how to address and overcome daily obstacles, and care for themselves while fostering their own personal development. Upon graduation, the resident will be confident reintegrating into their home, community, and workplace.
