The AbleMaker Story. 

Hi everyone, this is Dan Wilkins, the creator of the AbleMaker Convertible Toilet Wheelchair. Thank you for visiting this website, which is dedicated to raising startup funds for my groundbreaking invention. Let me share the story behind the AbleMaker. I have been my mother Peggy's caregiver for nearly 10 years. Peggy endured a botched knee replacement, leading to severe pain and her knee being permanently bent. In 2020, we moved from Mississippi to Colorado, seeking the best orthopedic care. Unfortunately, her options were limited to either leg fusion or amputation. My mother chose fusion, but it failed just four days after surgery, resulting in an above-knee amputation. Now confined to a wheelchair, Peggy quite frequently struggled to transfer to the toilet, often falling when I wasn't available to help. This struggle sparked an idea. I studied her wheelchair, made some adjustments, and envisioned the AbleMaker. With the help of Davison, a company renowned for supporting inventors, I discovered that my idea is patentable and has tremendous market potential. Peggy's suffering has led to the creation of something that can help many people. A wheelchair that eliminates the risk of falling when going to the bathroom. Join us in making this vision a reality.

Meet Peggy, My Best Friend

I grew up watching my mom sing and light up the crowd. She always had jokes and compliments ready to make new friends. Despite enduring multiple cases of medical malpractice that led to her amputation, her heart remains free of bitterness. Instead, she focused on her recovery. While she had to accept that she would never walk long distances again, she chose to walk, and walk she does. She even goes to the gym now!

The Mission and Vision

At AbleMaker LLC, we are passionately committed to empowering individuals with limited mobility. Our mission is to revolutionize independence and elevate quality of life through groundbreaking designs, patented innovations, and top-quality manufacturing. We take pride in creating products that transform challenges into triumphs, enabling our users to live life to the fullest.

In the U.S., 3.6 million individuals over the age of 15 use a wheelchair for mobility. Additionally, 3.2 million Americans rely on power wheelchairs and scooters. Each year, 2 million new wheelchair users are added. Among the 53.6 million children aged 5 to 17 in the U.S., about 20.9% have one or more physical, mental, or emotional disabilities, amounting to approximately 11.1 million children affected. Specifically, around 303,000 children in this age group use a wheelchair. Every one of these individuals, and countless more around the world, wants to feel proud and independent. Needing help using the toilet can strip away some of that pride. The AbleMaker changes that. It allows users to easily convert, roll over the toilet, clean up, and convert back to a stylish and comfortable wheelchair. Our vision extends to hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities, where a fleet of AbleMakers can provide greater independence and ease the burden on staff. We hope this invention provides a sense of safety and privacy that everyone deserves when using the bathroom.
