Halloween Magic for Children in Wheelchairs

Dressing up for trick-or-treating can be challenging for children who use wheelchairs, so they usually wear simpler costumes. Founded by a husband-and-wife team with five children (three of them with a form of muscular dystrophy), Magic Wheelchair is an Oregon-based non-profit that creates costumes for a few kids in wheelchairs for free. The kids are selected based on request videos they submit. The costumes are very impressive, and they make Halloween more enjoyable for these kids.
