wheelsforkidslogoWheels For Kids, Inc. is a nonprofit organization, founded in 2003 by Denise Jungbert in honor of her daughter, Ashlee, who has Cerebral Palsy (CP). The organization was originally established to provide wheelchairs to handicapped children afflicted with CP living in Palm Beach County who are financially unable to purchase them on their own and who do not qualify for public funding or other charitable sources.  We now accept applications for any child living in Palm Beach County with a long term disability that will benefit from the aid of a customized or stock mobility device. Wheels For Kids was created in the belief that working parents should not have to give up their livelihoods to give their child the most healthy and independent life possible.  To learn more visit www.wheelsforkids.org.
