I own a website called Young Millionaires. The purpose of this site is to bring together wealthy and successful people to the youth who have questions to be answered by those who have walked the walk, not just talked it.

The site has touched the lives of over 25,000 people to date - and is going through new changes and upgrades. Everything to date has been funded by myself so far.

"The Y.E.S.(Young Entrepreneurs Source)" is a organization that strives to promotes entrepreneurship. This will be done by provind classes and workshops with topics varying from money management to creating a business plan, to knowing you resources. These are only a few of the topics. This organization will aim to promote self- sufficency within a positive atmosphere to those who have dropped out of school and encourage those who are in school to remainn in school. By providing this opportunity to the youth, many of which are what they call "at risk" youth, we will try to redirect the youth way of thinking by empowering them to do positive things. By taking what they love to do and turning it into there source of income, which would allow them to get the things that they they desire in a legal manner as oppose to committing crimes to get it.

Our Mission

Push International is a non-profit humanitarian organization whose mission is to provide mobility and facilitate sustainable development in the disabled community inside the countries where we work.

Our Philosophy

Push International desires to give wheelchairs to people with disabilities who are the poorest of the poor and have no means of otherwise obtaining a wheelchair with no strings attached. We do not consider political, religion, gender or other conditions. If you are disabled and have no means by which to purchase a wheelchair we will give you one without any conditions.

We personally deliver our wheelchairs to people in need making sure that each individual is seated in a wheelchair that will best meet their needs. We have Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Prosthetists, Special Education teachers, translators and other volunteer professionals accompany many of our new volunteers during our wheelchair distributions and outreaches to make sure that individuals receive the best care possible.

Volunteers with no previous experience working with people with disabilities or mobility equipment are also extremely important during wheelchair distributions. Our staff will teach you everything you will need to know to assist in the seating of someone with a disability. Please do not feel discouraged to participate in an outreach or wheelchair distribution because of your inexperience; everyone was inexperienced at one time.

After recipients have been properly seated in their wheelchairs Push International continues to serve the disabled. We host wheelchair maneuvering skills clinics, teach personal care skills, therapy exercises, education, job skills, sports, and instill a sense of pride and unity in the disabled community in the countries where we work.

We have decided to narrow our focus in the world and work deeper in the communities that we serve. Instead of traveling to a vast number of countries we believe that is extremely important to equip our wheelchair recipients with the daily life skills they need to make the fullest use of their new found mobility.

Participants learn how to repair, maintain, and construct used bicycles by practicing hands-on, minds-on activities with a variety of bicycle mechanics and advocates. Participation in the program qualifies them to receive a newly renovated bicycle, free bicycle helmet, and bicycle skills lessons. This is a no-cost program designed to benefit communities and the families that create them.

Chair Advocates is an established Youth Venture which upholds disability rights and help people with disabilities to lead independent lives. We will assist people with disabilities get funding for adaptive equipments like dressing sticks, reachers and other everyday living aids. Even though ADA tackled most disability related issues, there are still some that needs to be addressed and taken into consideration. For instance there's a large amount of people with disabilities who's suffering from poverty. Chair Advocates is going to help these people reach their full potential and do whatever it takes for them to live an independent life. We will fundraise money to help them purchase everyday living aids necessary for them to complete daily tasks without assistance. Truly, a person who has the right equipment for his/her level of ability is literally free of physical limitations. We all have the responsibility to look to the future and to help each other find ways to live fuller, more fulfilling lives. Adaptive equipment makes that future possible.CA started a project called Young Wheelers In Need (YWIN) with a focus on teens with physical impairment who are wheelchair-bound ranges from ages 12 to 21. The objective of this project is to raise awareness about available adaptive equipments to promote independence among teens. CA members will conduct workshops in local Junior High Schools and High Schools to inform them of ways how CA can help in areas like funding options and grants distribution. At the same time membership applications will be distributed to students and individual filmings will take place. The video will be a part of CA's documentary piece to be shown during our fundraising event in April.
