Leave a Bequest
Leave A Legacy Of Mobility
Every child deserves the chance to move, learn and thrive. Yet millions of children in less-developed countries live without the wheelchairs they so desperately need. Too often, they are left lying on the ground, excluded from school, play and community life.
By leaving a gift in your Will to Wheelchairs For Kids Australia, you can pass on the transformative gift of mobility. Your generosity, no matter the size, provides a gift of hope, dignity and opportunity for a child waiting for their first wheelchair.
Why Leave A Gift To WFKA?
- Your legacy transforms lives far beyond Australia in countries that lack infrastructure and resources to support children with disabilities.
- 100% of donations go directly into making and delivering wheelchairs or to a specific area of our operations you may prefer to support.
- Each wheelchair is made to World Health Organization guidelines and individually fitted to a child’s needs.
- You’ll be remembered as someone who gave children the chance to move, play, and learn.
- A special memorial plaque will be placed on each wheelchair that is funded by your gift.
Types Of Gifts You Can Leave
- Residual Gift – a percentage or share of your estate after other commitments including debts and expenses are paid.
- Specific Gift – a fixed sum of money, or a non-cash asset such as shares or property.
- Whole Estate – leaving your entire estate to Wheelchairs For Kids Australia. This is usually left by those without family or other preferred beneficiaries.
The kind of gift you leave in your Will is entirely up to you and your personal circumstances. Whether it’s a portion of your estate, a set amount or something specific, every gift is a meaningful way to support a cause close to your heart. Whatever you choose, your generosity will create a lasting impact - giving children the freedom of mobility and a brighter future.
We recommend speaking with your family and your solicitor to find the option that best reflects your wishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I consider leaving a gift in my Will to WFKA?
Leaving a gift ensures that even after your lifetime, you’ll continue to transform the lives of children with disabilities. It’s a powerful way to extend your values of compassion and fairness into the future.
Do I need to be wealthy to leave a gift?
Not at all. Every gift, large or small, makes a difference. In fact just $300 from your estate can provide a wheelchair for a child who may otherwise never receive one.
Can I support my family and WFKA?
Absolutely. Many supporters choose to leave a residual or a specific gift to Wheelchairs For Kids Australia — what remains ensures your family or other beneficiaries are also supported.
How will WFKA use a gift I leave in my Will?
We primarily direct legacy gifts to making wheelchairs, however, there are many other ways a gift left in your Will can help the organisation. From helping with the upkeep on the factory and machinery, to helping fund travel for occupational therapists or physiotherapists, our team would be happy to connect with you and discuss a meaningful plan for your gift.
Do I need to tell WFKA if I’ve left a gift in my Will?
You don’t have to, but we would certainly welcome the chance to meet you and thank you personally for your generosity. You could also visit the factory, meet our team and keep you connected with our work through newsletters and emails.
