CRUTCHES 4 AFRICA

Did you know in 2019 we were able to ship 7 shipments to those in need?

THREE~LAN~THRO~PY (noun)

Our goal is to raise THREE MILLION (USD) to ship and distribute
one million mobility devices, free to disabled people in need.
Each mobility device costs $3.00 USD to ship to the recipient.
WE WILL NOT SPEND THIS $3,000,000 TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOAL!
Rather, we will safely invest the $3,000,000
and USE THE INTEREST to make it happen.
Your donation NEVER GOES AWAY!!!
Your donation will continue to provide mobility repeatedly!
You will ALWAYS be part of a MILLION DOLLAR bank account!
The need is MASSIVE!
Be part of a MIRACLE! DONATE NOW! Become a THREE~LAN~THRO~PIST (verb)!!

While in Uganda in 2005 I saw people who had survived the disease of polio. Often they are rejected in their communities. I'm a polio survivor myself. Back in the United States, I realized that many people have a lightly-used and no-longer-needed mobility device from a twisted ankle, ski accident, or operation. I saw crutches at garage sales, in dumpsters, and unfortunately in roll-off containers headed to landfills. I knew that I had to do something; this was the genesis of Crutches 4 Africa.

Our Mission: collecting, shipping, and distributing mobility devices.

We collect used and surplus mobility devices, ship them to developing countries, and distribute them--free--to people with physical mobility challenges regardless of their race, gender, tribe, age, or religion.

"We are so grateful for the help you have given to us. Even just a thank you word is not enough. Because you have given us the hope that we had lost. It’s like bringing us back to life. Thank you so much." Mathew, from Kanguay Disability in Africa

January news... We went to an Interact meeting in Laughlin Nevada this past Thursday Jan. 23 and they presented a $1,000 check to C4A! A small but mighty group! They were floored by my polio presentation!
Upcoming events include my flying to Atlanta to load a 40'container there which will ship out to Uganda for later distribution. As part of that trip I will have a brief time home, back in Denver, for the Rotary dinner on February 7th at which I will share Polio update and squeeze in a little info about C4A. I am on a 12 minute time leash... life is always a challenge!
I will then fly back to AZ to complete our time here prepping another container load and speaking at the Interact District conference on February 22nd. We will drive back to CO then and 3 days later fly out to Uganda with 3 Rotarians from CO, including DGE Bob Kemp another Rotarian from MA Sue, and our friend Nick, also from Colorado. Our trip runs until March 18 when we get to be home briefly before we return to AZ for a short time and then back home for a rest I hope until the International in June in Honolulu.

Cleaning out and reorganizing Denver Co. collection, volunteers helped us for 4 hours. What a gift.
