Kids Mobility Network

Children with physical disabilities have a unique, recurring need for durable medical equipment (“DME”) such as wheelchairs, walkers and other equipment. Due to their rapid growth, existing DME becomes ineffective in meeting their needs and hinders their ability to effectively participate in their community. All families must purchase outgrown shoes and clothing - special needs families must replace new DME – at great expense. Kids Mobility Network, a 501(c)3, non-profit organization, is like no other non-profit organization. It provides a resource for children with disabilities and their families to obtain DME. Kids Mobility Network gathers outgrown DME and reconditions the equipment. Reconditioned DME is then matched to a child’s specific needs - just like new equipment. Since its first equipment placement in 2006, Kids Mobility Network has provided hundreds of children with DME. Durable Medical Equipment is critical to the social and physical development of a child. Appropriate DME allows a child to interact effectively with his/her peers and develop interpersonal skills, self confidence and self-esteem.
