“If your heart is as my heart, give me your hand.”
Rev. Mel West“Make no little plans they have no magic to stir men’s blood.  Make big plans remembering that a noble, logical diagram, once recorded, will never die, but long after you are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with growing insistency.”
‐ Burnham, Architect and Planner

PET® Mobility Project: the Gift of Mobility to the least of these
More than 70 million people worldwide are leg disabled due to birth defects, disease and casualties. Without assistance, they must crawl and use other undignified means to get around.

The PET® Mobility Project provides these children of God with hand cranked Personal Energy Transportation carts, vehicles that allow them to go where ordinary wheelchairs won’t go. There is no cost to the recipient – we reflect the love of God by giving them the Gift of Mobility.

Since 1994, over 48,000 PET® carts have been built by hundreds of volunteers at 24 Affiliate workshops and distributed in 100 countries with the help of 49 distribution partners.

The PET® Mobility Project would like to say Thank You to the many who have given their time and resources to enable the Gift of Mobility to reach those in need.
