Equipment Links

This is Benson's closet which is overflowing with medical equipment (and blessings).  Benson needed some equipment for his tube that our insurance could only provide at an outrageous cost.  So, I started searching around for other sources and thought I would share some of what I found in case someone else might need help.
A great source for equipment from other families is on Facebook.  There are at least three groups that I know of.  People will either post something they have or people can post something they are looking for. It is not always free, because sometimes families had to pay co-pays themselves and will ask for that payment back.  But sometimes they got their supplies from medicaid or medicare and you only need to pay shipping.  I did get burned one time using this method because she told me shipping was $15 but when I received the item it was definitely only $3.  I guess if she has a child with special needs, at least it went to someone with a lot of medical bills.  Anyway, use caution here.  Most times, people are honest.
Project Sloopy was able to donate 30 infinity pump bags, at no cost to us!  These bags are donated to their organization by families who have a surplus and then they ship them out to whoever needs them!
The Parker Lee Project is a similar foundation to Project Sloopy.  They send out donated equipment to families.  They received the exact pump that we were looking for and sent that to us along with 30 bags!  Coincidence?!  I think not!
The Oley Foundation works a little different.  People contact them who have extra equipment and they put you into contact with people that have the supplies you need.  All equipment is donated, you just pay shipping!
Rehab Equipment Exchange is another site that I am going to throw out here.  This site has a different kind of equipment, but it's equipment none the less.  I haven't gotten anything from this site, but I have browsed it many times.  I'm including it just in case it helps someone else out.
