Audrey Rose,

What a wonderful and generous offer.
To avoid even the idea of a scam, how about shipping to the person's local doc for setup and delivey to the patient? That gets you out of the setting up of medical equipment quandary.

Why would you want it shipped to a doctor who would, more than likely, want a fee for his/her services, when you don't have insurance? Which, btw, could open a whole quandary of other medical/ethical/legal problems.

after much consideration, have chosen a person, I feel will benefit most from the equipment I have. thanks for all the inquiry, wish I had a truck load to give away, only had the one. thanks for all the love from other forum members, wasnt looking for attention, just wanted to pay forward a good gesture that was offered to myself.
thanks all,
hope everyone is doing well.
sincerely
Derek
