Make a difference

There are over 100 million people in need of a wheelchair worldwide.

Over 100,000,000 people around the world, children and adults alike who do not have the ability to get around on their own. They lack independence and mobility, many dragging themselves on dirt floors as a way of life. With a wheelchair, many everyday opportunities such as going to school or work, taking care of household chores, and more, are made possible.

Travel with a purpose

with Chair The Hope

Traveling with Chair The Hope combines a humanitarian trip and a vacation into one transformative experience. Every location is hand-picked as we work with local friends to take you to destinations far different than the usual “tourist attractions”. Diving deeply into the cultures and communities helps us get off the beaten path and form shared connections with beautiful individuals all over the world.

Activities like zip lining through jungles, snorkeling in the ocean, or hiking Machu Picchu are included to spark excitement for thrill seekers. Assembling wheelchairs and delivering them to humble homes or communities provide the opportunity to share in compassion and give hope. These experiences are interwoven with delicious indigenous foods, exploring local traditions, and fun-filled adventures.  

Join our team on a journey that will leave your heart overflowing with love and ignite your passion for humanity.

Our story

The Ogden Family

Welcome! We are the Ogdens or Oggies as our friends call us. We are a family of 7 and growing! It’s truly wonderful to connect with you! Nathan’s snow-skiing accident 23 years ago left him quadriplegic and in a wheelchair for life, giving us firsthand insight into the challenges of limited mobility. However, we’ve learned the importance of cherishing life’s amazing moments and finding joy in everyday experiences. 

We travel around the world giving out wheelchairs with our family-run nonprofit Chair The Hope. This is our passion project and a way to give back and bring hope to families like ours. 

You can follow our journeys to globally show that a different ability can be a superpower and that with our lives’ experiences, we can find compassion and a way to bring goodness to the world. We call it “Rollin’ with the Oggies”.

Message from the Ogdens

We want to thank each of you so much for having an interest in our cause and in our family. Our goal is to bring hope to those who are searching and to also teach individuals and families that we can all serve together. In our opinion, nothing brings a group of people together more than serving someone who is in need. 
We love to create unique memories and to meet new friends who will become a part of our Chair The Hope family. Come along with us as we live our lives the only way we know how: authentically. 

JOIN US IN OUR MISSION TO BRING HOPE AND GIVE BACK TO THE WORLD
