Financial Resources

For financial resources, the following are organizations where families can apply for assistance for equipment and medical-related needs (applications should be submitted before obtaining, and previous expenses cannot be reimbursed).  There are different eligibility requirements, and not all are specifically for medical equipment (as most assist with more than equipment).  Contact your Social Worker or Psychologist for more information and help to navigate financial assistance.
