Warrior on Wheels

Founded in October 2015, the Warrior on Wheels Foundation is a non-profit organisation (NPO), which began with one woman’s passionate desire to enable her wheelchair-bound, special needs son to live his life to the fullest.

“When doctors informed me that my son Damian is differently able, my world came crashing down, but I knew I had to do something to ensure that his condition wouldn’t hinder his quality of life. I started this foundation to allow my son to be a child like any other, and be able to perform activities that other children are performing too. I didn’t want him to feel less of a human, especially missing out on his childhood,” says Deidré Gower, the foundation’s founder.
