ROC Wheels (Reach Out & Care Wheels) is a faith-based non-profit 501(c)(3) that fits wheelchairs and gait trainers to children who need them around the world. Moving a child off the ground and into a chair is a life-changing experience. They are now able to participate more fully in the life of their community. It literally raises their status and alters their future.
ROC Wheels works with in-country partners to identify children who need wheelchairs. We send a team of volunteers for a week or more to train local physical therapists how to fit wheelchairs to children. The local partner then provides follow-up and support to the family as the child grows.
Located in Bozeman, Montana, ROC wheels provides opportunities for youth groups, veteran groups, people fulfilling court-ordered community services, and others to volunteer with ROC and enrich their lives in the process. Volunteers help with wheelchair and gait trainer design, assembly, transportation and fitting to children. Everyone who participates with ROC is changed by the experience.

Help send wheelchairs to children in Ukraine
As a country ravaged by the devastation of a continuing war, Ukraine continues to witness the catastrophic effects on her citizens and particularly her children. The Ukraine crisis has displaced more than 6.5 million people since February 24, 2022. Sadly, these numbers are increasing by the day, as are the needs of children with disabilities. Dropping everything they owned, desperately trying to escape the constant barrage from artillery fire and missiles, families left their homes and their belongs. Many children are without their wheelchairs and other mobility devices. To add to the already horrific situation Human Rights Watch is reporting that Russian forces are using banned antipersonnel mines across contested territories. Because of other conflicts around the world, we know that these devices create havoc causing death or maiming their victims. The need for wheelchairs is only going to increase. Working with partners in Ukraine and surrounding countries, ROC Wheels feels called to provide wheelchairs for these children, and in so doing share the hope of Christ with their families. Our goal is to provide wheelchairs for children identified as having a need.
