About Us
Chariots Of Love, the mobility division of parent charity Caps Of Love, provides free wheelchairs, gait trainers, and standers as well as free wheelchair repairs/accessories for children and young adults through the age of 21 in the United States. We are funded by public tax-deductible monetary donations, fundraisers, and grants. Chariots Of Love is growing ever stronger as the charity receives increased recognition for their great benefit to society and increased public awareness of the value of their services. Candidates apply through our application form on this website. Our candidates may be uninsured, under-insured, or otherwise unable to receive the medically-necessary mobility equipment they need.
As of January 2024, Chariots Of Love has provided 259 “Gifts Of Mobility” in eight states nationwide.
NOTE: The “Recycling Education Initiative”, called “Caps Of Love” was educating the public on how to identify the three different grades of plastic so they could be recycled. We were able to recycle over 201 tons of polypropylene #5 and polyethylene #2 and #4. The recycling proceeds were used to purchase the new wheelchairs and to refurbish donated wheelchairs. This Education Initiative was discontinued in April 2017 due to the weak petroleum market, making it no longer financially viable to store and ship the three grades of polypropylene and polyethylene for recycling.
Chariots Of Love and Caps Of Love are non-profit, with no members taking any salaries or compensation. All Board Members and Advisory Council members function on a volunteer basis.
What We Do
Welcome To Chariots Of Love
The goal of our non-profit organization is to provide wheelchairs, gait trainers, and standers to mobility-challenged children in the USA.
Through grants and monetary donations, we raise funds to provide FREE wheelchairs, gait trainers, and standers and FREE wheelchair repairs for mobility-challenged children through the age of 21 in the USA. These children may be uninsured, under-insured, Medicaid denied, or have not received the correct mobility equipment for their unique condition.
Our Mission
We don't let mobility keep a child from reaching their full potential.
We Believe In Change
We believe that we can make a difference in the well-being, both physically, socially, and emotionally, of children with physical disabilities in our country.
EVERY child or young person in this country should have safe mobility and access to public transportation.
We WILL bring awareness to the mobility issues facing young people in our country.
We CAN improve the lives of children living with special needs and reduce the financial strain on their families
We GIVE members of our communities a way to give back and get personally involved.
“Chariots Of Love” charity provides FREE, custom-fitted manual and powered wheelchairs, gait trainers, and standers to children with disabilities that are not insured, under-insured, or otherwise unable to obtain medically required mobility equipment living in the USA through the age of 21. Starting in early 2017, we also began funding wheelchair repairs and accessories for candidates that qualify under the same issues. Repairs can be a simple adjustment of lateral supports or leg supports, replacing worn headrest or armrests, replacing worn tires, replacing dead batteries in powered wheelchairs. Accessories may be adding a work tray, new headrest, or anything else they need. As of April 2022, we have given out 197 "Gifts of Mobility" that include powered wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs, gait trainers, standers, and adaptive tricycles and 49 repairs/accessories.
