Impact.

The greatest investment you can make is in a child’s future.

The success of this year’s Rocktoberfest events will help us serve over 1,250 children in 2026 with the high-quality prosthetic limbs, appropriately fitted wheelchairs, and orthotic braces needed to relieve suffering and access the opportunities mobility unlocks. Your support helps to provide mobility so CoolKids like Seyha - who has been enrolled in our Cambodia program for over a decade, and is now the first in her family to attend university - can walk & roll into the future they deserve.

If you didn’t have a chance to donate, you can do so here. If you made a donation, please check if your company will match to double your impact.
