ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Because of the severity of their disabilities, many children are not surgical candidates for our orthopedic surgery program since such operations might not improve their condition, and may even cause further complications. For these children, SAP-VN initiated "A Wheelchair For A Child" program to improve their mobility and independence.
For many handicapped children, a wheelchair makes a tremendous difference in their lives. Many have had to crawl on their hands and knees in order to move around. There are even those that never left their homes! With a wheelchair these children can go to school or even work and become less of a burden for their family.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
With $100 or $120, SAP-VN can purchase a wheelchair or a tricycle, respectively, for a handicapped person. If you would like to help sponsor or campaign for this program, please send us an email at info@sap-vn.org
or contact our office at (714) 901-1997.
THE WHEELCHAIR PROJECT has donated a total of 286 wheelchairs and tricycles since 1997.
