Who We HELP

Anyone! St. Louis HELP is available to all who have needs.  Access to needed medical equipment is crucial.  AT devices are not luxury items but necessities.  These tools empower people to control their lives and their futures.  St. Louis HELP’s equipment lending program has been developed to assist individuals who have a variety of needs:

• Those who lack insurance
• Those whose insurance does not cover their equipment needs
• Individuals awaiting insurance company approval
• Those temporarily disabled by injury, illness or surgery
• Persons whose own equipment is in repair
• Caretakers introducing friends or relatives to the use of equipment
• Visitors to the area who cannot bring their own equipment
• Terminally ill persons uncertain about their period of need
• Those interested in trying equipment before purchasing

Community Collaboration

St. Louis HELP collaborates with other organizations that work to meet people’s needs and to provide a referral network of AT providers of equipment and services.  We can assist you in finding services, contacts, and appropriate resources related to assistive technologies.  Call us with your questions and we will try to track down the best referral to service providers, organizations, or an individual or agency to address your specific need. We can also share information with you about other programs that may prove to be helpful.
