Good morning. I have medical equipment from my husband who had ALS. We have a cough assist and the tubes that go with it. We have a suction machine and wands that go with it. We have a brand new padded shower chair that is actually part of a shower system. We have some medical supplies, saline syringes and heparin, antiseptic wipes, masks, and other various items that were used during home infusions. Could you use any of these items?
so sorry we did not reply in a timely manner Margo – I hope you were able to donate at the warehouse – and if not – thanks very much for trying
