Secondwind is a retailer but they do work with an organization that does donate machines so they could possibly be a source to get someone pointed in the directed of obtaining a donated machine.
They actually stockpile a lot of the inventory of various donated machines...work with the organization that does the deciding and then the organization will have secondwind ship out a machine from the donated inventory.
So even if not purchasing...they could point a person in the direction of where to get things started for a donated machine.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

I didn't know that... good for Secondwind <clapping>... also thanks to Pugsy's encyclopedic memory.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

I chatted with Mark at Secondwind a couple of times and he is the one who told me what they do behind the scenes.
He sent me a link to the website to start the donation ball rolling. I am still looking for that link...it's hiding.
I will post back here in this post if I can find it. I have it saved somewhere...but I don't remember where.

I went to help site before when I was trying to get my machine, unless there is more than one they only do basic cpap machine. No high dollar ones.

I could help you with a S9 vpap... but I do not have any adapt or ST machines

PM if that would help her
If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!
