PPPlus
This “Kijiji-like” site allows donors to “Create a Listing” and post gently used assistive devices; including but not limited to, wheelchairs, walkers, commodes, and bathroom equipment. Persons searching for equipment have the ability to “View a Listing” and find a device that best supports the needs of the individual. If interested in an equipment listing, clients are able to “Contact a Donor” via email for additional information or to arrange an exchange. Our mission is to enhance independence and the quality of life of individuals with disabilities and create mutually supportive community partnerships. Additionally, we strive to reduce environmental waste by reusing and relocating assistive equipment to those in need.
