In Support of Help 3D Print Child Mobility Wheelchairs
I’m partnering with MakeGood, a nonprofit that connects volunteer makers with children who need custom mobility equipment, to 3D print a custom wheelchair for a child.

One of the most important goals of this project is that the child and their family receive their mobility trainer wheelchair completely free of charge. Families raising children with disabilities often face significant financial challenges and the cost of traditional mobility devices can be overwhelming.
A local family can request a mobility trainer wheelchair through the MakeGood portal, and makers like me can claim and build the chair free of cost to the family. I work with the family on what colors/designs and accessories they may need (I.e. oxygen tank mount etc.)
While the wheelchair is donated to the family, producing it comes with some costs. Funds raised through this campaign help with specific goals:
While the wheelchair is donated to the family, producing it comes with some costs. Funds raised through this campaign help with specific goals:
- A 3D printer and equipment costs
- Printing materials and supplies (approx $240/chair)
- Misc expenses (replacement parts, shipping, and other project costs)
Every donation helps turn these raw materials into a custom mobility device that gives a child greater independence, confidence, and freedom to explore the world.
Thank you for considering joining me in this mission! Let me know if you have any questions.
