Pray for the more than 20 Million persons in the world who have lost the use of their legs through polio, landmines, war amputations, earthquake amputations, crocodiles, etc.
Find People
Find People with welding, metalworking, or woodworking skills who will agree to help build Mobility Cart parts. Help them with expenses–buy the metal, etc. Help them ship it to Mobility Worldwide MO – Columbia.
Packing Material
Collect and bring to us clean and dry 1/2 or one gallon-size plastic jugs with lids like milk and water come in. They help fill in corner gaps (see below) and steady the partially disassembled cart in place during months of transit. Once unloaded overseas, locals use the clean jugs to carry and store water. We also need clean & dry regular size soup or vegetable tin cans to fit over the 2 axles in each box. With trying to increase production to 50 carts a week in 2023, we need even more packing supplies. We have collection bins right inside the warehouse door at the north side of the building.
Collect Items
Collect and bring to us other used mobility devices such as canes, foldable walkers, crutches, and wheelchairs. Even if they need minor repairs/replacement parts, we receive and send them on to one of our distribution partners, C.R.O.S.S. Ministries, in Osceola, Iowa to refurbish. Those ready to ship out, go in loads with our Mobility Carts. Folks may get one or the other or both. In example, someone might be able to be on their feet for short periods in their home using a cane, but need a cart to go distances to market, school, to a doctor, etc. Our partners evaluate and distribute the appropriate devices.
