Some Things I Found Today

We've been talking about needing swings and trampolines. I'm sure many of you are in need of other things as well. I've had some time to myself today because my Mother-in-Law is visiting (HOORAY! I needed a break!!!) so I've done a lot of searching. I found an exchange group that you join through Yahoogroups. People might have a swing and be willing to give it to you for just the cost of shipping or something like that. I just requested to join the group. I hope it can help some of you. It's called Special Child Exchange. Click to go visit that page HERE.

Challenged America bought Marshall's Airwalker swing. They have a $500 limit but you can get some good stuff with $500! Apply for a grant HERE or email them at: submissions@challengedamerica.com

Does your child have Cerebral Palsy? Go HERE for assistance to obtain wheelchairs, orthopedic braces, walkers, lifts, hearing aids, eyeglasses, medical equipment, physical therapy, and surgery. Blind, Deaf, Amputees, and children with Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Spastic Quadriplegia, Encephalitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Spina Bifida, Down Syndrome, and other disabilities receive assistance. DCRF focuses special attention on helping children throughout the U.S. that do not have adequate health insurance, especially the physically challenged.

United Healthcare Children's Foundation helps families too but to qualify for this one, you can't be on Medicaid. Check it out HERE.

I'll post more if I find more. I'm exhausted and going to bed.
