I had a friend that passed after getting a nice chair a few years back and I was given the trust to get rid of his belongings. Ater talking to several local charities I got his stuff to people that needed it. Priests and ministers don't mind writing fair reciepts. I hate to see awesome chairs go to folks that use the motors for a science project they don't finish. Check and see if some illegal could use it to take trash out at the center for independant living. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 11:44 AM Subject: [QUAD-L] Donate Chairs
I have 2 chairs I’m trying to donate, but not having much luck. Anyone in the AZ area who can use them… Free 1. Invacare Arrow, about 10 years old, tilt/recline, power legrest, needs batteries and air in tires. 2. Permobil Chairman, about 6/7 years old, tilt/recline, power legrest, seat elevator, needs batteries and has a crack in the frame. My chair shop would not weld for liability issues, but Permobil says they have a fix. First I was trying for a Tax right off. But to get a high value now (something like over $500) your supposed to get a letter from the place on their letterhead, plus an expert to give a value to them. I could not find any place close that wanted them. Only 1 place, but it was for-profit place. I just know I had to pay lots of money to get my chairs fixed over the years (20% co pays). Someone must want them for parts at least. Let me know soon, or they go to the for-profit shop… Greg, Chandler, AZ ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
