enGAGE mobility is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on supporting the transportation needs of families raising children who use wheelchairs.
Our primary focus is helping Missouri families access reliable transportation through the purchase of an accessible vehicle or assistance with vehicle conversion.
For those raising children who use wheelchairs, extra day-to-day challenges pop up in nearly every part of life. One of the biggest obstacles is simply getting from point A to point B. Considering the extra tens of thousands of dollars needed to purchase or convert a vehicle for accessibility, it can feel especially daunting. enGAGE is committed to supporting these families in life-changing ways through the generous donations of its supporters.
