We would like to thank #APL for donating the transportation of a 40 foot ocean container from our facility in Lancaster, CA to Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This container was consigned to #OHANAIndonesia 240 wheelchairs along with 400 pieces of ambulatory aid equipment. Our international #ATP rehabilitation team work side by side with Perkumpulan Ohana rehabilitation staff custom fitting wheelchairs to men, women & children.

Our rehab team just returned from Ethiopia where we fitted 199 wheelchairs ~ mostly complex rehab CP chairs. The ocean container was consigned to ESMAAfrica in Hawassa. The country director Argaw & his wife Rachel started Ebenezer Grace Children Home 10 years ago. A wonderful couple that met at a missionary college in Holland. They now have 87 children in 4 different homes, many which were abandon. These homes are managed by profession staff mothers and care providers. We use...d their main facility warehouse in Hawassa as the staging logistics area for the seating & training clinics. later in the week, our team traveled 4 hours south to the city of Sodo where we fitted 45 chairs. Then we drove to a city called Shashamane where we worked at a catholic convalescent home. On our last day in Addis we did 7 home visits. A priceless journey in serving people w disability in Ethiopia. We plan on returning soon & need to raise $12,700 dollars for the shipping container. If you are able~Please step up & donate to lock in shipping dates for Ethiopia. See more

Dear Friend, As 2018 comes to a close, we want to thank you for your generous support this year. This year, Global Mobility delivered and custom fit almost 3,500 complex rehabilitation wheelchairs to some of the most severely disabled people around the world, most of them children. ... This year, the Global Mobility mission made its way to Vietnam, Mexico (Zacatecas, Guadalajara, Chihuahua, Oaxaca, Tijuana, Mexico), Indonesia, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic, The West Bank, Kenya, Guatemala, Haiti, Jordan, Mongolia, China, Nigeria, The Philippines, Zimbabwe, Honduras, and El Salvador. We also deliver many custom-built wheelchairs at home to Shriner's Children’s hospital. While the true value of the wheelchairs we delivered range from $2,000-$5,000 per chair, all our recipients received their new wheel chairs at $0 personal cost. THIS is due 100% to you and people like you who continue to support Global Mobility and our mission of serving ‘the forgotten of the forgotten’. You can still make a difference and donate today. https://www.globalmobilityusa.org/make-a-donation
