Who is Fragile Kids and how can they help?
Fragile Kids maintains an inventory of specialized equipment that can be loaned to a child's family for as long as there is a need. They have developed this program using both donated and purchased equipment. Examples of loaned equipment include: prone standers for increasing leg and hip strength; positioning chairs that allow the child to sit for extended periods for play or study, strollers

Typical features of Angelman syndrome are a small head (microcephaly), epilepsy, severe learning difficulties (with poor communication skills and little or absent speech), an unsteady or ataxic gait, characteristic facial appearance and a happy disposition. Her mother asked for a specialized car seat that Crystal's therapist thought crucial for her safe travel by auto, yet was not covered by insurance programs.Cost: $650
Skylee, age 2Skylee has Cerebral Palsy and seizure disorder and is cared for by her single mother whose annual income is less than $15,000. They were in need of a "pixie stroller" to accommodate her small size before the need for a wheelchair, while providing supports and straps to keep the child safe during transport.Cost: $2,824
Julius, age 1Julius suffers from holoprosencephaly, a condition resulting in a single-lobed brain structure and severe skull and facial defects. In most cases of holoprosencephaly, the malformations are so severe that babies die before birth. Julius has numerous other birth defects and global delays, as well as blindness and seizures. His family requested a "kaye corner chair" at the recommendation of their physical therapist. This will allow them to feed him and administer medications, as well as work on upper body strength, safely. They have agreed to donate the chair to our Loaned Equipment program when Julius has outgrown it in a few years. Cost: $400
