Wheelchairs and other mobility aids offer physical assistance; and more importantly Joni and Friends provides the gospel of Jesus Christ – sharing Him by relationship created through the provision of wheelchairs, crutches and walkers. First wheelchairs are collected all across the United States and once restored in one our restoration centers located in prison facilities, are transported overseas to developing countries.
