Gift Package: Buy an All-Terrain Wheelchair for a Man, Woman or Child in a Developing Country

$300 will allow the purchase of a Whirlwind RoughRider wheelchair that will take its rider safely over the roughest roads. This is not simply a chair to sit in, like most wheelchairs distributed in developing countries, but a way for the rider to independently travel to places he or she never before thought possible. Its long wheelbase makes it ultra stable so it can drop down high curbs, descend many staircases, and even go up some escalators! A mother can safely carry her child on her lap. Its wide front casters, 4 times wider than standard caster wheels, keep it from sinking when rolling over grass, sand, and mud, and from getting caught in sewer grates. A children's version has the same wide caster wheel, and active kids as young as 4 can push themselves. The wheelchairs are often made in the country where they will be used, so you are providing jobs and helping the local economy as you help someone widen their horizons and become independent.
