A unique program is underway to create customized wheelchairs. The cost of these devices can be substantial, often between $2000 and $15,000 for young children.
A local museum is playing host to this initiative, which aims to provide assistance to kids in the area. The event is scheduled to take place over several days.
Further information about this effort can be found through KMID ABC Big 2. Details about the program's goals and outcomes are available from these sources.
