I'm concerned that the equipment won't end up in the hands of someone who can really use it, it could be sold off for profit. Does anyone know if the www.als.ca donor program thru the HME/Motion Group is worthy? it sounds ok.

The Red Cross does not accept donated medical equipment. They referred me to www.silvercross.com which is not affiliated with them.
