TAKE ACTION!
Make a Difference in the Lives of People with Disabilities
There are Many Ways You can Help
Help change a life
Pray
Your prayers and God’s blessings turn love into ministry. Please pray that the people who receive wheelchairs will also receive God’s love.
Donate a Wheelchair
If you have a wheelchair that's not being used, you can bring it to us in Mexico, ship it to us in Mariposa, CA, or drop it off at a nearby Joni & Friends Drop-off location site. Just go to their web site (http://www.joniandfriends.org/wheels-for-the-world/drop-off-locations/) for the closest drop-off location near you. Put a note on the wheelchair that it is donated on behalf of World Access Project, and they will donate wheelchairs to us.
Sponsor a Wheelchair
From donor to recipient (including - picking it up from the donor, refurbishing it, shipment, donation, etc.) the cost of getting a wheelchair to someone in Mexico is approximately $25. That’s a low price to change to give someone mobility, give them the opportunity to get out of their house, be active and independent.
You are invited to donate a wheelchair or sponsor one. For those who donate wheelchairs, we will send a photo of the person who receives the wheelchair you donate. Forever you have a memory of the life you changed.
Volunteer
We encourage people to come to Mexico and work with us. You can make a huge difference in someone’s life by meeting them personally, giving then a wheelchair, encouraging them, and letting them know you care. Without volunteers it is impossible to help the thousands of people who still need mobility. You can come as in individual, a family, bring your church, your club, friends or others in your community. You can stay for a week or longer. We provide comfortable, accessible accommodations. Volunteer Form Available at the Bottom of Page
Shipping
One of the biggest expenses we have is shipping wheelchairs – from the donor to our collection site, transportation to Mexico, customs, brokers fees, etc. If you have connections with people who do shipping within Mexico or the U.S., we would greatly appreciate your help. 90% of the cost to donate a wheelchair is shipping it to Mexico. If you have a wheelchair you would like to donate it would help greatly if you would pay for the shipment of the wheelchair to our U.S. collection site in California.
Donations - Every donation, even the smallest, will be used to make a difference in the life of someone with a disability. Although we have administrative, capital, construction and other monthly costs that allow us to do what we do, our promise to you is that your specifically donated funds will be used for your intended purpose. We are a 501(C)(3), federally recognized, non-profit organization in the U.S. and in Mexico. We provide tax deduction letters at the end of the year to all people who make financial donations and donate medical equipment.
Monthly Donations - Ongoing, sustainable support is critical to be able to make a consistent, sustainable difference in the lives of impoverished people with disabilities. Wheelchairs break down, they need to be repaired and replaced. Those with basic skills need support and assistance finding employment and maintaining their skills until they develop confidence. In order to provide ongoing support to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities in Mexico, ongoing financial support is essential. Use the Donations button (below) for more information about how to establish monthly withdrawals from your credit card or bank account.
Frequent Flyer Mileage – Air fare mileage is invaluable resource that helps us fly to Board meetings, attend trainings & seminars, assist Mexican wheelchair athletes to fly to the U.S. to play in U.S. sports events, and assist volunteers who can’t afford their airfare to travel to Mexico. Also, maintaining our ministry in Mexico while developing support in the U.S. requires trips back and forth for staff. Richard lives in Mexico full-time to provide ongoing continuity and support for our Mexican school and staff, but trips to the U.S. are necessary. Donated mileage allow us to develop and expand our resources in both countries.
Amazon Smile - Amazon has a program that donates 5% of your purchase to select non-profit organizations. The purchase price is the same, and if you choose World Access Project, you'll be helping a person with a disability. Go to smile.amazon.com choose World Access Project, Inc. as the organization you'd like to support, and make your purchase.
Your prayers and God’s blessings turn love into ministry. Please pray that the people who receive wheelchairs will also receive God’s love.
