By Giving the Gift of Mobility,
You are Giving the Gift of Opportunity
The Need
Children in Costa Rica are going without adaptive and mobility equipment that could profoundly impact their daily lives. At the same time, wheelchairs, walkers, adaptive seating, and other specialized equipment in the United States are routinely outgrown or no longer needed by their original users. Much of this equipment still has years of useful life remaining yet may sit in storage or is eventually discarded.
We Bring The Two Together
Pura Vida Mobility for Children connects children in Costa Rica with adaptive mobility equipment that can improve their mobility, independence, and quality of life. We collect donated wheelchairs, walkers, adaptive seating systems, and other specialized equipment, carefully evaluating each item for continued use. By matching this equipment with children who need it, we give valuable resources a renewed purpose while helping children gain greater access to their world, participate more fully in daily activities, and reach their full potential.
Why It Matters
Mobility is about far more than getting from one place to another. The right equipment can help a child attend school, interact with friends, participate in family and community life, explore their surroundings, and experience greater independence. Access to adaptive mobility equipment opens doors to learning, inclusion, and opportunity, empowering children to engage more fully with the world around them.
