I heard about your partnership with Magic Wheelchair for Logan’s wheelchair costume and I think that’s awesome! You guys will do an epic job for them.
I also wanted to let you know about another organization that is based right here in the midwest called Walkin’ & Rollin’ Costumes. We do the same thing as Magic Wheelchair, we build costumes for kids in walkers and wheelchairs, all over the nation, and we keep them free of charge to the families. We started in January 2015 and are a 501©3 non-profit based out of Olathe, KS. We have multiple chapters around the nation as well. One thing we do differently though is that we also partner with schools to build these costumes as class projects through the school’s STEM program, enabling the kids to learn about Science, Technology, Electronics and Math, while doing a fun project for another child. We are even working with a school in Andover to make a costume for a child in a wheelchair for this Halloween.
We also attend conventions and comic cons to promote Walkin’ & Rollin’ Costumes and hope to be in Wichita soon. We would love to meet with MakeICT and perhaps partner on another project in the future. Feel free to check out our website (www.WalkinRollin.org) and see many of the costumes we have made in the past for many kids around the nation. I’d love to hear from anyone in regards to helping build more exceptional costumes for exceptional kids.
