Since 2008, STLHELP has been collecting, repairing, cleaning and giving away home medical equipment to anyone who needs it. Help us help our senior neighbors to age safely.
"St. Louis HELP is their only shot at a decent life," said St. Louis County Home Health Nurse Karen Groves.
St. Louis County resident Anquanate Claxton had forgotten what it was like to have a good night's sleep. Anquanate required a hospital bed in her home for her to sleep comfortably, something most of us take for granted.
"I just wanted to go to bed," she said.
Anquenate is finally getting that good rest after STLHELP gave her a bed that meets her needs.
