Wheelchairs For Warriors: Crystal Laramore

Joining me today on Veterans SITREP, is Crystal Lee Laramore, the Executive Director of Wheelchairs for Warriors and a fierce advocate for those who have sacrificed the most. Under her leadership, the organization has become a national force for mobility justice — stepping in where traditional systems fall short and ensuring that heroes receive equipment tailored to their bodies, their injuries, and their lives. Wheelchairs for Warriors build highly customized, engineered-for-survival mobility solutions for veterans and first responders whose injuries demand far more than a standard-issue chair. These aren’t just wheelchairs; they are lifelines to independence, dignity, and possibility. We’ll talk about the mission, the veterans they serve, the engineering behind these custom chairs, and the powerful stories of resilience that drive this work forward. This is a conversation about mobility, but even more, it’s a conversation about freedom.
