A Leg To Stand On

Investing in CoolKids' futures since 2003. Mobility is more than movement; it is a human right.

Help us provide prosthetics, appropriately fitted wheelchairs, and orthotics so CoolKids can walk & roll into a future of opportunity. Mobility improves self-esteem, provides access to education, future employment, and the chance to live self-sufficiently. One simple treatment, provided by us thanks to YOU, can transform a life and break the cycle of poverty a child was born into.

Without access to care, growth spurts can undo progress. A prosthesis that fit six months ago? Now it causes pain, instability, or gets abandoned entirely because it's too uncomfortable.

That’s why ongoing care matters. With your support, we can provide continued care to our CoolKids as they grow, through the age of 25. That's Growing Up ALTSO.

This Mobility Awareness Month, we’re trying to raise $80,000 by May 31 to support our 14 programs across 4 continents—providing prosthetics, orthotics, wheelchairs, and ongoing mobility care to children around the world.

Mobility is more than movement — it’s a human right.

Because when a child can move, everything changes. They can go to school, they can play, and they can dream and create a better tomorrow.

Thank you for making that future possible for Abihakim.

Last week, our community moved 2,158 miles and raised $71,103 to help provide mobility care for children around the world.

Together, we walked our dogs through neighborhoods, biked across parks and city streets, and moved through everyday moments with purpose. We showed up for school, for work, for workouts, and for one another.

And with every mile walked, rolled, run, danced, or biked, we helped bring hope, mobility, and opportunity closer to our CoolKids, like Shivani.

While we came short of our $80,000 goal, Mobility Awareness Month continues through May 31. Funds raised will support 14 programs across 14 countries, helping children gain access to prosthetic limbs, orthotics, and appropriately fitted wheelchairs so they can walk, roll, play, attend school, and pursue new opportunities.

Move for ALTSO is almost over, but Mobility Awareness Month is just beginning.

This month, our goal is to raise $80,000 by May 31 to support our 14 programs across 4 continents—providing prosthetics, orthotics, appropriately fitted wheelchairs, and continued mobility care to children who deserve the chance to move through life with comfort, dignity, and joy.
