In the 16 years that we've been serving our region, many of our #kiddos have grown up with us! It blows our minds that some our tiny tots are now #teenagers. Jason then / Jason now = 🤯. Let's keep our kids moving forward. See what we have to loan at www.equipforchildren.org

The season to be on the go! complex #wheelchairs can be too unwieldy for many everyday errand runs and definitely not usually made for different terrains like grass. From tots to adults, #adaptive strollers can help! www.equipforchildren.org!
