Thailand's Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities International wanted to raise funds in order to purchase and repair wheelchairs for people who need them. The organization wanted to raise awareness of the value of wheelchairs to handicapped people, and encourage donations to assist the effort.
The eye-catching installation dramatized how important it is to give handicapped people functional wheelchairs. Balloons were used as symbols of hope that can give happiness to the handicapped.
'Supportive Balloons' We installed a number of broken wheelchairs in public areas. Each chair was missing a wheel, and leaned over to one side. We then asked people to buy supportive helium balloons that could be tied to one side of the broken wheelchair, elevating it to make the chair appear functional.
Over 17,000 balloons were sold. The Foundation saw a 12% increase in annual fundraising. The campaign also proved that many people care and support the handicapped in Thailand.
