The “Road to Purpose” is very important to

me and I hope you will join me on that won-

derful road. I will never forget my experi-

ences along the way.

>> A lady in Vietnam pushed herself to me in

her new wheelchair and said, “I wanted to

die, but now I no longer want to.”

>> A 16-year old boy with a terminal illness,

blind and immobile, looked into my eyes

with his blind eyes and said, “I will see

you in heaven.”

>> Five hundred people in China who had not

been out of their homes for 25 years

because of back injuries from an earth-

quake each received a wheelchair.

>> A young man in China who was paralyzed from the waist down condi-

tioned his arms and upper body so he could be the first disabled person

to swim the English Channel.

>> A person paralyzed from the neck down painted a peacock for me using

only his mouth.

>> Hundreds of people tell me that they now can go back to school and

work or go outside to sit in the sunshine.

At night when I am sleeping I see thousands of raised arms begging for our

help as we are their only hope.

Become a member of the Wheelchair Foundation Angel Program with a $75

donation from you and three referrals who make the same donation. You

will be changing lives, giving hope and providing independence - and with

enough referrals you may be one of the top 30 Angels invited to travel with

me on my plane to volunteer on a wheelchair distribution trip to China or

Latin America in mid-2008.

I hope you will become a member of the Wheelchair Angel Program so

together we can enjoy “Our Road to Purpose.”

Sincerely,

Kenneth E. Behring

Founder & Chairman

ANGEL PROGRAM

The Wheelchair Foundation is proud to announce the brand new

Wheelchair Angel Program. The Wheelchair Angel Program is a

referral program that allows you to share the joy of giving with your

friends and family by encouraging them to give the gift of hope and

mobility to people in need around the world.

The program also provides 30 special donors with the unique

opportunity to volunteer on a scheduled wheelchair distribution trip

to China or Latin America in 2008! These donors will be invited to

accompany Mr. Kenneth E. Behring, Chairman of the Board and

founder of the Wheelchair Foundation, aboard his private MD87 jet.

On the trip, donors will carry out the mission of the Wheelchair

Foundation by distributing wheelchairs and visiting the communi-

ties that the Wheelchair Foundation helps. The trip includes hotel

accommodations, sightseeing and the opportunity to changes lives

by delivering wheelchairs!

How do I become a Wheelchair Angel?

Do the following:

1. Make a donation of $75 (or more) using the enclosed enve-

lope or online at www.wheelchairfoundation.org. Be sure to

check the box to indicate you want to sign up for the program.

2. We’ll mail (and email) you a Wheelchair Angel Member Card

with your official Wheelchair Angel Member Number.

3. Get three other people to donate $75 (or more) each and ref-

erence your Angel Member Number.

It's that easy! When we receive your third referral donation, you

will become an official Wheelchair Angel and receive your

Wheelchair Angel Wings lapel pin!

How do I get credit for my referrals?

When you make your first donation of $75 to join the program,

you will be given a membership number. Share your member num-

ber with your friends and family. YOUR REFERRALS MUST

REFERENCE YOUR MEMBER NUMBER WHEN MAKING

THEIR DONATIONS IN ORDER FOR YOU TO GET CREDIT.

How will Wheelchair Angels receive recognition?

Once we receive three donations referencing your member num-

ber, you will receive a special Wheelchair Angel lapel pin so that

others know you are a TRUE WHEELCHAIR ANGEL.

When we have received ten referral donations with your member

number, you will receive our official Wheelchair Angel crystal cube.

Each month, the Wheelchair Angel with the most referral dona-

tions will be recognized as “Wheelchair Angel of the Month” on

the Wheelchair Foundation website!

How do I get invited to volunteer on the trip?

The Wheelchair Angel with the most referrals at the end of the

Wheelchair Angel Program year (ending April 2008) will receive

special recognition as “Wheelchair Angel of the Year”. This

person will be invited to volunteer on a scheduled wheelchair distri-

bution trip of their choice in either China or Latin America!

The Top 30 Wheelchair Angels, with the greatest number of refer-

rals by April 30th, 2008, will be recognized as “Guardian Angels”

and will be invited to volunteer on a wheelchair distribution trip in

mid-2008! You must have 50 or more referral donations to qualify

for “Guardian Angel” status and become eligible for an invitation to

attend the official distributions.

For complete details, please visit our website at www.wheelchair-

foundation.org or call toll free 1-877-378-3839. Thank you for your

continued support in helping people in need of mobility!

“This has been one of the most inspira-

tional experiences of my life and I wish

everyone who helped sponsor these wheel-

chairs could experience this feeling.”

-Gary Nelson

A message relayed from our more than

half-million wheelchair recipients: “Thank

you. Thank you for giving. Thank you for

making the effort to help us. Thank you

for not forgetting about us when everyone

else has.”

Why is it called the Wheelchair Angel Program?

“Sitting on the wheelchair and driving its wheels, I seem to grow a pair of wings.”

– Letter from a wheelchair recipient in China

Lifting a person into a wheelchair is a special experience that few people have the opportunity to enjoy. Many times, wheelchair recipients

express their gratitude by relating the donor to an angel sent from heaven. Wheelchair recipients also feel new-found freedom and inde-

pendence upon receiving mobility, and often express the feeling of having wings or the ability to fly. The following quotations capture the

magnitude of these emotional experiences:

When the recipients were lifted into their new wheelchairs, one man started raising his arms and

shouting in thanks. All of the other recipients quickly joined him. When we asked what they were

saying, we were told that they were shouting, “Now we can fly.”

– Wheelchair recipient in Tanzania

“You are sent from heaven. God is looking out for me.”– Elderly disabled woman who finally received an answer after 30 years of daily prayer for mobility
