Two weeks ago, the van was officially transferred to our Reuse Site partner, the Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital for Children (PRHC). PRHC has been a REquipment partner since the inception… REquipment Gets New Wheels!

If you have gently-used equipment you want to donate please complete our online… Thank You Compassionate Care ALS
