why is wheelchair recycling important?

According to the Census Bureau's newly
released findings, the number of uninsured Americans
rose to 43.6 million during 2002.
(Census Bureau's press release) Many of the people
with disabilities, and those in need of wheelchairs,
fall into this category. Even those who do have
insurance find it dificult to afford maintenance.
Many of those who have been helped by this
recycling are those who have no insurance or are
waiting for equipment.
