Thanks for all your support and ideas for our website.  And a special thanks to all of you who have agreed to provide Safe Exchange Sites . . . White Eagle Credit Union (Augusta, El Dorado & Newton), Pickard Insurance Agency (East Wichita), El Dorado TrueCare Pharmacy (El Dorado) and Cooper Drug Store (Augusta).

We have already gotten great response about kidsDMExchange.org.  And many are responding who do not have special needs children or equipment to exchange.  They want to know how they can help!

Want to get involved but don't have anything to exchange?  Check out our http://www.kidsdmexchange.org/ WISH LIST:

Safe Exchange Sites!  We would love to have safe exchange sites available throughout the state (heck, even throughout the nation).  Our number one priority is to create a network for families exchanging durable medical equipment for their special needs children.  In doing so, we want to keep all participating parties safe and happy.  That is why we ask that visitors who are making a "local exchange" do so in a safe, public place.  We are working with area businesses to create safe exchange sites.  These businesses allow "exchangers" to meet and make "local exchanges" in their place of business during normal business hours.  These businesses are not responsible for any part of the exchange process.  They are offering their location as a safe place to meet at no cost to this website, the listing or the receive parties.  They are not endorsing our website nor the products traded via this website (although we'd like to think they like us).  We need more safe exchange sites.  Let us know if you or your business is interested!

ADVERTISERS!  We are not a 501c3 but we are not-for-profit but for the greater good.  There are small costs involved such as monthly hosting fees, advertising, etc.  We welcome any business owners who want to advertise on our website to contact us for more details.  Without having advertised yet, we are already getting over 100 visitors almost every day.  And it keeps growing!  (Advertising on our site is not considered a tax-deductible donation but rather an advertising cost and can be claimed as such.)  Any co-op advertising is greatly appreciated as well!

EQUIPMENT & VISITORS!  Please pass this information along so that we can get the word out and so that others will start recycling their used kids equipment on our site!  The bigger we get, the better we get . . . and the more kids we can help!

Again, thank you for all your support!
Jaime & Amy

Happy New Year!  And Happy Exchanging!

Today kicks off the first "official" day of kidsDMExchange.org and we couldn't be more excited!  While there are very few items currently available, some great things are coming our way.  In fact, we have two walkers that will soon be posted and other things to come.

The success of this website depends on you!  If your child no longer needs or has outgrown durable medical equipment, sensory items or communication devices, please "pass it on" via our site!  The response thus far has been incredible and we anticipate many will become involved in posting items and exchanging them.  We still encourage you to donate your items to organizations from which your child receives therapy.  However, if they can no longer house your items, post them here and pass them on!

Happy New Year!  At kidsDMExchange.org, we hope that you have a very prosperous, blessed and fulfilling new year.  And we hope that your child continues to make gains and continues to improve for his or her health, happiness and success.  God Bless.
