Boston: Borrow CPAP machine?

Post by happyd » Sat Mar 12, 2022 4:30 pm

All,

My brother just got diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, but there's a 6-month backlog to get a CPAP machine. Insurance won't cover any that are rented or bought online.


He can buy a used one on secondwind, but it's a bit out of his price range. (We're checking ebay and craigslist too)


Is someone near Boston and has an available machine he can borrow for 6 months?


Thank you!

The Reggie White Foundation helps those who cannot afford CPAP machines.
