When health care systems delay, deny, or overwhelm families, neighbors step in.
That is what St. Louis Health Equipment Lending Program (STLHELP) has done since 2008.
We collect donated wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, hospital beds, pediatric equipment, and more. We inspect, repair, clean, and provide it free of charge to local people who need help now.
No red tape. No long waits. No fees.
Because when someone is trying to heal, regain mobility, or care for a loved one, waiting is not good enough.
2025 Impact: Community in Action
Because neighbors gave and cared:
- 2,787 people served
- 8,058 pieces of equipment provided
- 171 children helped
- More than 1,500 seniors assisted
- Over $2 million in replacement equipment value provided free
- 198 tons diverted from landfills
This is what happens when a community looks after its own.
Why It Matters
Health care costs are high. Insurance often falls short. Equipment can take weeks or months to arrive.
Meanwhile, someone needs help today.
A walker can prevent a fall.
A shower chair can restore dignity.
A wheelchair can reconnect someone to life.
Pediatric equipment can change a child’s future.
