(Which is hard to believe) I know lots of people on this forum hoard CPAP machines, masks etc. I can find a few lightly used masks in my closet and a newish hose for you when you get a used machine, Maybe some kind souls will respond, and possibly ship you a machine or mask, hose, chinstrap or whatever.

Man, other than that I don't know what to say but good luck and I hope you get better. BTW, I'll keep bumping this up to make sure you get the equipment you need. A side issue: I'm not sure solar panels will be able to charge batteries enough to keep you running all night, however someone more knowledgeable than me can address that issue. Search your souls CPAPtalkers, it's the holiday season after all

Todzo give it a rest we are tired of your holier than thou attitude. If this person is indeed homeless that is his/her choice, if we as individuals choose to believe this person is a troll or fully of hooey, that is our choice. You can't bully us into thinking differently just because you "think" he is for real... and YES what you are doing is BULLYING

I don't feel like going back 9 pages to find my answer if it's there, but I'm curious about his computer use? How is he getting online?

Why? You can walk into almost any library and find a computer to use. A 6 year old laptop that might be worth $50 to most people is perfectly functional for browsing and open WiFi access is easy to find. Anyone who worked in high tech would consider internet access one of the last things to give up. I can go longer without a shower than without cyberspace.

Though I don't believe much the OP's story, certainly some of it could be true. The concept that anyone who can post on the 'net is obviously capable of taking care of them self in a manner we consider reasonable is rubbish.

Well there you go.

Unless you use it in the "odd" years as well, it's not going to work.

I would much rather that the cowardly worthless dirty dog haters attack me rather than the Homeless.
