I have a BIG-Heart for families touched with any sort of disability. My daughter, Jasmine, has taught me SEW much. She was born with Down Syndrome, so consequently i have been involved in the special needs community for the past 28 years.

Joni Eareckson Tada is my HERO! She had a freak diving accident at 17 yrs. old. Understandably…her initial journey started out with self pity, depression & despair but as time moved on…she could not LIVE in that state so she cried out to God. Though her unwavering faith…with God’s steady helping hands…she has turned her plight into being an international conduit of hope, encouragement and mobility to thousands of disabled individuals on a global scale. She is a MARVEL. I LOVE her!

In 2023 I reached out to her organization, Joni & Friends.org to see how I could volunteer to help. I discovered WHEELS FOR THE WORLD on their website. It instantly struck a cord. I am now, North County’s very own,  WHEEL CHAIR COLLECTOR. Individuals (like me) collect UNWANTED wheel chairs, all over the nation. They transport them to prisons for repairs and then they are shipped to developing countries. Such a beautiful process!

How CAN YOU HELP?  

#1. Keep your eyes open on the Next Door app or if you have any connections to nursing homes or Senior centers, they oftentimes have some chairs lingering around. Hundreds of like-new wheel chairs are discarded to the dump…everyday!

#2. Consider buying some of our beautiful, hand-made gift items. 20% of all sales, go directly to support ‘The Wheels for the World.’ 

#3. Sign-up for one of our ‘Charity/Make-Wheel chair Bags’ camp. The camp is 1/2 price and all the bags go the next Wheels for The World  mission trip! The kids love it! They have hearts to serve. 

We can mail out your gifts or you can pick them up at our home studio in San Marcos, Ca.    Just call or text 760.908.7853.
