Wheelchair Foundation

During the next several weeks, Mohr School is is participating in a district-wide effort to support the Wheelchair Foundation. The 3 primary goals of the project are:

  • raise awareness about the need for mobility in the world
  • sensitize students to the issues faced by people with intellectual/developmental and physical disabilities
  • raise money to provide wheelchairs for those in need


This year, our monetary goal at Mohr is to collect donations that represent $2.50 per student. That would be the equivalent of providing approximately 12 wheelchairs for people who are unable to afford one. For less than the price of a school lunch, students can change a life by giving the gift of hope and mobility.

Donations in any amount are welcome, and may be made in the form of cash, checks (to the “Wheelchair Foundation”), or online at http://del-corazon.org/to-donate-to-the-wheelchair-foundation/.

Thank you for supporting this worthy cause and wonderful lesson in compassion for our students!
