“After my spinal cord injury, I had to rebuild my independence from the ground up. Even years later, that process hasn’t been easy, but getting support for my powerchair was a real turning point.” 💙
Thanks to the Ian Burkhart Foundation’s grant program, this powerchair became more than just a piece of equipment; it became freedom. From running errands to spending time with friends and family, it restored confidence, independence, and connection to the world.
✨ It’s not just a chair, it’s a lifeline to living fully.

Steve’s story is exactly why this work matters.

With support from the Ian Burkhart Foundation, he now drives independently using new hand controls in his minivan. That freedom has changed daily life for him and his wife in a big way.
Grateful he shared his experience and allowed us to pass it forward.

“Freedom looks different for everyone. For Jason, it looks like rolling through the city with ease. 💪💙
With support from the Ian Burkhart Foundation’s grant program, Jason received a FireFly attachment for his wheelchair. Now he can zip to the store, commute outdoors, and navigate the city without relying on van parking or extra help.
✨ “The FireFly attachment has brought enormous joy and utility to my life. The IBF provides amazing opportunities for people with SCI to improve their quality of life.” — Jason B.
