"Empowering Mobility: Transforming Lives through Wheelchairs" Wheelchairs have long been a symbol of liberation and inclusivity for individuals with mobility challenges. From the historic John Grooms Crippleage to the compassionate Flower Girls Mission, organizations worldwide have tirelessly worked towards providing accessibility and independence to those in need.
