THESSALONIKI, GREECE [IOCC] -- More than 165 disabled individuals from the Thessaloniki, Macedonia and Epirus regions of northern Greece recently received wheelchairs, including sports wheelchairs for disabled athletes, other mobility devices, and therapeutic equipment.
"For many people and especially children, this was the first time they received a wheelchair, such as one 14-year old boy who has been carried around by his grandfather his whole life," says IOCC Greece Director Despina Katsivelaki.
The equipment, worth more than $200,000, was made possible through a generous gift to IOCC by Peja Stojakovic of the NBA's New Orleans Hornets. The wheelchairs were custom-fit to suit the needs of each recipient by a team of volunteer health care professionals from Wheels for Humanity.
