Crystal Lee Laramore is the Founder/Executive Director of Wheelchairs for Warriors (WFW). Established on December 6, 2016, WFW is recognized by the State of Texas and Galveston County, where its headquarters is located. The organization serves veterans and first responders who cannot obtain assistance from traditional sources.

Crystal is a Daughter of the American Revolution (DAR) and her love for God, her family, and those who wear a uniform and swear an oath to protect and serve, comes from a family history steeped in the American tradition of serving our country; a passion that runs deep in her family roots. W​it​h​ this burning desire in her heart to serve, Crystal worked for the Department of State (DOS) in Baghdad, Iraq from 2004-2006. She served as a liaison officer to the Ambassador to Iraq, John Negroponte, and received a letter of commendation from the DOS. It was this experience that sparked the fire in her to found an organization that serves warriors.

Recognizing the gap between what our injured warriors NEED and what they are afforded, Crystal and co-founder Heidi Hansing, set out on a mission to provide better wheelchair solutions that would allow wounded veterans and first responders to regain some of their independence & freedom and give them the ability to ROLL STRONG! With a commitment to God and Country, Wheelchairs for Warriors has received the American Freedom Fund's Outstanding Veteran Service Award in 2022 and the Four Chaplains Bronze Medal Humanitarian Award in 2023 and the Patriot Talk 920 (Faith, Family, Freedom) NPO of the Year Award in 2024!
