A 91-year-old man sends over 100 refurbished wheelchairs from the UK to Uganda to help those who lost limbs to treatable infections.
A 91-year-old Hartlepool man, John Hobbs, has collected over 100 wheelchairs and mobility aids over three years, sourcing them from UK charity shops and markets for as little as £10.
He refurbishes the items and sends them to Uganda via the Kumi Community Foundation, which partners with PhysioNet in York for distribution.
The equipment helps individuals who often lose limbs due to treatable infections.
Hobbs’ efforts, supported by local vendors and praised by foundation volunteers, provide life-changing mobility assistance to people in need.
