In the middle of a healthcare crisis, you need solutions quick. Unfortunately, healthcare does not often provide this luxury, with insurance delays, copayments and denials common. The St. Louis Health Equipment Lending Program (STLHELP) is that breath of fresh air in what is a difficult time for healthcare. 

Since 2008, STLHELP has been collecting, cleaning, repairing and GIVING AWAY home medical equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, hospital beds, Hoyer Lifts and much more!

"This is a great resource that really helps people. Its a blessing!" actual client statement. "We are thrilled to learn of the wealth of pediatric equipment lending options through your organization, and will continue to spread the  word!!

Helping people of all ages in the St. Louis region since 2008, STLHELP wants everyone to have access to the home medical equipment they need to get better after an illness, surgery or aging. 

STLHELP seeks to help build our community, providing options for people to donate used home medical equipment they no longer need and help others, providing healing to our neighbors. 

Our pediatric equipment is a real help to families when they too often face insurance delays and denies. STLHELP bypasses red tape and provides quick, personal responses when people need it most.  

We are stewards of the environment, diverting more than a 100 tons of home medical equipment from landfills, in 2023 alone, into the hands of local people to help them heal, to be independent and to be part of community.  

Is STLHELP in your zip code? Thanks to the support of people like you, STLHELP has been collaborating with existing organizations throughout the region to provide STLHELP pickup and drop off locations throughout Greater St. Louis. 

During this past year, STLHELP has added drop off and pickup locations in Soulard, North City, Lemay, Mehlville and High Ridge, along with offering our full warehouses in Olivette and Crystal City. Learn more at www.stlhelp.org. 

Through your generosity, we can continue to help families in crisis. We can be the answer to the healthcare professional seeking to get her patient up and walking after surgery. We provide a bright light to families with children who have special needs, offering fast, free help. Our efforts include assisting the senior who wants to remain safe at home, out of Assisted Living. 

We rely on financial, as well as used home medical equipment, donations to serve the more than 2000 people we help each year.  Join us in spreading this fresh, free and fast way to get help for families who need home medical equipment, neighbor to neighbor.  Donate today! Spread the word!
