about

Fluttering Wheels is a disability-led service organization influenced by disability justice principles in Lansing, Michigan. We believe healthcare is a human right and access to medical equipment should not depend on financial status or insurance coverage. Just like with food, there is enough medical equipment and supplies in the world for everyone to have their needs met. By connecting people with materials that would otherwise end up in landfills or go unused, we are supporting equitable distribution and reducing waste.
