About This Cause
ABOUT CRUTCHES 4 KIDS: Crutches 4 Kids’ mission is simple and high impact – to help children move. Our efforts are giving the gift of mobility to children, and thus fostering greater independence, hope, and dignity. Crutches 4 Kids bridges the gap between the abundant supply of crutches and other mobility devices in the United States and the staggering demand globally. FRONTLINE HEROES: There is an unprecedented emergency occurring in hospitals across America - we have a devastating shortage of vital personal protective equipment (PPE) for frontline clinical staff. This means that every minute of every day clinical staff are putting their lives on the line to serve others, without necessary equipment. Frontline Heroes is a new initiative by Crutches 4 Kids to help provide clinical staff in this time of need with the necessary equipment to serve. THE NEED: While crutches are rare and valuable commodities in many parts of the world, there are millions of crutches across America sitting unused in closets, garages, and attics. There are millions of children around the world who lack access to crutches and other mobility devices. These children are victims of trauma, disease, or inadequate healthcare systems. GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION: Crutches 4 Kids works with trusted humanitarian organizations to distribute crutches and mobility devices around the world. Our efforts focus on poverty-stricken and war-torn communities where the supply is limited. In 2016, Crutches 4 Kids distributed crutches and mobility devices to 40 international organizations in 20 countries on four continents. RECYCLING PROGRAM: Crutches 4 Kids partners with world-class hospitals and a network of physical therapy offices to create sustainable recycling programs for gently-used crutches. In addition, through a grassroots approach, Crutches 4 Kids works with socially-minded citizens to plan crutch drives with local community organizations and schools.
