Fragile Kids and Adaptivemall.com have teamed up to help raise money for Georgia’s children with special needs. Together, we can help families with special needs children bridge the gap between what is deemed medically necessary and what is actually covered by their private insurance or Medicaid.
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, feeder seats and therapy benches. They also have a fleet of All Terrain Wheelchairs to share with families for vacations and schools for field trips.
How Can You Help?
Your donations through Adaptivemall.com can now help Fragile Kids maintain the inventory of Loaned Equipment they need to fully serve the Georgia area and remove the increasing waitlist. Donate now and check back again and make a donation for the next product on the Fragile Kids list.
 Fragile Kids Success Stories
Crystal, age 4
Crystal has Angelman Syndrome. She is cared for by her single mother. 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 2
Skylee 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 1
Julius 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
To ensure our children have access to the products they need, we are asking for your donations to add a New Special Tomato Soft Touch Sitter size 2 to our Loaned Equipment Inventory. The Special Tomato Soft Touch Sitter is a very popular item and we have a growing waiting list for children in need. Your donations can help reduce the wait time for our children.
