Our project is a Medical Supply Drive that will give people with disabilities who have a surplus of medical supplies the ability to share their excess supplies with those in the disability community who need them. Through a partnership with the Mosunmola Care Foundation for spinal cord injury communities in Nigeria (which was founded by a Women on Wheels member), WOW will collect medical supply donations locally and send them to spinal cord injured people in Nigeria who often lack even the most basic and necessary supplies. WOW conducted their first Medical Supply Drive last year during the holiday season, and was able to collect 15 large boxes of medical supplies, including basic supplies like catheters, gloves, bed pads/chucks, incontinence supplies, and cushions. We would like for this Medical Supply Drive to be an annual event.

What our grantee is saying: "This donation means the world to Women on Wheels. With it, we can assure our medical supply donation drive to Nigeria’s MOCAF Foundation will be successful. We can cover costs for acquiring and shipping materials to assure others with spinal cord injuries across the globe receive the support they need. Thank you so much!"
