Wheelchairs 4 Kids has received a $7,500 grant from the Admirals Cove Foundation to support its flagship Let’s Roll Program, which provides wheelchairs, home and vehicle modifications, and other essential assistive equipment to children with physical disabilities under the age of 21, all at no charge to their families. This grant is specifically designated to serve families in the Northern Palm Beach area.

      Founded in 2011 in Tarpon Springs, Wheelchairs 4 Kids is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the quality of life and increasing mobility for physically disabled children. Since its inception, the organization has helped over 1,800 children nationwide live fuller, safer, and more independent lives through the gift of mobility and accessibility.

      “We are incredibly grateful to the Admirals Cove Foundation for their generous support,” said Madeline Robinson, Executive Director of Wheelchairs 4 Kids. “This grant allows us to directly impact families in Northern Palm Beach who are facing immense financial and emotional challenges. With this funding, we will be able to provide life-changing equipment that many children would otherwise go without.”

      The Admirals Cove Foundation, based in Jupiter, supports nonprofit organizations that enhance lives and strengthen communities in Palm Beach County through grants and scholarships. Their support will help Wheelchairs 4 Kids continue to provide safe and customized solutions for children in need, right in their own backyard.

      Wheelchairs 4 Kids’ Let’s Roll Program remains central to its mission, ensuring that no child goes without necessary mobility or accessibility equipment due to financial hardship. In addition, the organization runs a social inclusion program, Wheely Fun Days, offering children the opportunity to participate in exciting community outings and connect with their peers.
