Shriners
You need a sponser from a Shriner member, easiest is if you know someone who is a Shriner however some parents have went right to a Shriner location and have gotten a Shriner Member to sponser them on the spot. They will cover orthopedic and burn patients...you have to go to a shriners hospital though to get coverage.
TKEN
TKEN was founded in 2005 by a group of caring professional and community members who share a common interest in assisting children with special needs. Of particular concern was the realization that many children lack the adaptive equipment needed to provide opportunities for independence and mobility at home and within their community.
TKEN was founded to help children and young adults whose families have insufficient or no funding for essential equipment. We do so by providing them with gently used and refurbished durable medical and adaptive equipment.
