Wheel to Walk Foundation
Purpose
Wheel to Walk Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps children with disabilities, 20 years and younger, obtain medical & adaptive equipment or therapy services not provided by insurance.
*****At this time, they are accepting applications from those living in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California.
Description
Families fill out an online inquiry form requesting the “Application for Assistance,” which initiates the process. The application requires details about the child’s disability, financial need, insurance denials, if applicable, and supporting documentation like medical or therapist letters. Each completed application is reviewed by the Board on a rolling basis—typically within two to three weeks. If approved, Wheel to Walk purchases the approved item or service directly from the vendor and distributes funds accordingly; note that they do not cover insurance deductibles or co-pays, nor fund home/vehicle modifications, iPads, or travel costs.
