High Fives has provided:
GC2 2026 Grant funding for power wheelchair attachment
“This grant will give me greater independence and access to the outdoors by allowing me to travel farther and navigate terrain that is difficult to access in my wheelchair. The PAWS will help me stay active, enjoy activites like hiking, fishing, and hunting, and most importantly, allow me to participate in outdoor adventures and create lasting memories with my children.“
