How It Works

One Model. Four Steps. A Veteran Standing Again.

No committees, no black-box fundraising machine. Every dollar's path from a walked mile to a delivered exoskeleton is public — here's exactly how it works.

Action, Not Words

This Is What Getting It Done Looks Like

The Sequence

Start To Finish.

A hero, a walker, and the backers behind them — you have met them already. This is what actually happens, step by step, from the first mile to a veteran on his feet.

  1. Step 1: A Hero Is Verified

    Every hero is a real, named U.S. veteran living with paralysis. The Foundation verifies their service and their story, then gives them a public page: photo, story, and a live count of what’s been raised for them.

  2. Step 2: A Walker Signs Up

    Someone picks that hero and commits to walking 15 miles. They ask the people in their life to pledge per mile. Their phone records the route and the distance as they go.

  3. Step 3: Backers Pledge

    Friends, family, coworkers — anyone — pledge $1 to $100 per mile. Every mile the walker logs makes the pledge bigger. Backers pledge by card, and the card is charged automatically only when the walker completes their 15 miles. Walkers never handle money.

  4. Step 4: The Exoskeleton Is Delivered

    Charged gifts go to the hero’s balance. When it reaches $150,000, Wandercraft builds the exoskeleton, fits it to the hero, trains them on it, and delivers it.

Here's The Math — An Example

10 backers × $5/mile × 15 miles = $750

That’s one walker with the minimum ten backers. Two hundred walkers like that, and one hero has the full $150,000.

What Victory Actually Costs

$150,000. That's The Real Number.

The exoskeleton is only part of it. Funding a hero means the exoskeleton, five years of maintenance, travel for fitting and training, and the physical therapy that gets them walking on it. All of it comes to one number: $150,000.

The Exoskeleton
The FDA-cleared Wandercraft unit itself — market ready, and the single largest line in the package.
5-Year Maintenance
Fully covered. No surprise bill lands on a veteran's desk.
Travel
Fitting, training, and delivery logistics — wherever the hero lives.
Therapy
The physical rehab that turns hardware into an actual walk.
Total, per hero
$150,000

Four line items. That is the whole package.

We don't call it done when the box arrives. Victory is a veteran standing on their own two feet for years—not a photo op on delivery day.

This Is Where It Leads

A Hero, Standing Again.

Every mile walked, every dollar pledged, every step in this process points at one moment: a veteran who hasn't stood in years, standing again — on his own power, because people decided to fund it. That's the process working exactly as designed.
