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. There is enough medical equipment and supplies in the world to meet everyone's needs. By connecting people with materials that would otherwise end up in landfills or go unused, we are supporting equitable distribution and reducing waste.
