Variety of Eastern Tennessee has helped hundreds of children in the Knoxville area through Kids on the Go! This program helps local families acquire special needs equipment for children with mobility challenges. We can help with prosthetic limbs, walkers, wheelchairs, specially-designed adaptive bikes, home and vehicular ramps and other types of devices which are beyond the financial means of the family. Variety contributes up to $2,500.00 per request.
