A portion of The Evanosky Foundation’s mission statement is to provide support to families affected by a leukodystrophy or other disabling conditions. This is important because families are often under significant financial and time pressures because of their child’s disability. Equipment that can improve the quality of a child’s life is often cost prohibitive and in many cases not covered by insurance.
In order to address this need, The Evanosky Foundation is doing the following:
1. Coordinating equipment donations from institutions or private individuals - if you have equipment that you would like to donate, please e-mail evanoskyfoundation@evanoskyfoundation.org or call the Foundation at (630) 236-8039.
2. Purchasing discounted or used equipment to give to families
3. Working with local Eagle Scout candidates from the Boy Scouts of America to provide adaptive equipment at no charge to the children of families served by the Early Intervention program within the State of Illinois. Adaptive equipment can include items such as walkers, toys that are operated by switches (which are beneficial for children with limited motor skills), and therapy equipment. We are currently in the early stages of this partnership but our goal is to design, produce and distribute adaptive equipment with a retail value of $30,000 to children within the Early Intervention program by late 2009.
On Tuesday, July 11, 2006, Edward Hospital donated over $35,000 in rehabilitative equipment to The Evanosky Foundation. Edward’s donation consisted of several mat tables, wooden treatment tables, a never-before-used de-loading device (a therapeutic crane that supports patients during exercises), upper body machines and various other pieces of equipment. All of the equipment had been in storage and was not in use. In keeping with its goals—to provide support for children and families affected by leukodystrophy or other disabling conditions—The Evanosky Foundation will donate the rehab equipment to the CoACH Care Center, a Naperville facility for children with special medical needs and the Marianjoy Rehabilitation Center in Wheaton. All equipment was delivered courtesy of Prager Moving and Storage in Naperville.
"We are thrilled to be able to disseminate this equipment into the community where other children and adults can benefit," said Bob Evanosky. "As a Foundation, we know that the right equipment can make a crucial difference, and we are excited to be a part of this effort."
