Ability Through Action

Founders: Kelsea Mackay and Patrick Lloyd

As the war in Ukraine continues, the number of those needing mobility equipment has only increased.  The influx in need has supply chains stressed, and for many these items are too cost prohibitive and expensive. We are seeking to provide them with critically needed devices as requested by aid organizations on the ground. 

With the help of Goodwill Industries, Ontario Great Lakes, Rollup Solutions and Align Home Health Care, we are launching our first initiative, one that focuses on mobility. We will collect, upcycle and donate used wheelchairs. We have partnered with several non-profit and charity organizations working directly on the ground in Ukraine who will distribute the devices to the areas, and individuals, most in need.

These organizations include:

Nova Ukraine: https://novaukraine.org/ (external link) 

Vostok SOS: https://vostok-sos.org/en/ (external link) 

Fight For Right: https://ffr.org.ua/ (external link) 

BGV Charity Fund: https://bgvfund.org (external link) 

From these partnerships, Project Ukraine was born.

Our goal is to provide 1000 wheelchairs and other mobility devices, such as rollators, walkers and canes, to Ukrainians in need of these mobility assistance devices.
