ARMAZÓN DE PRÉSTAMO DONASOL DME
En Puerto Rico, muchos residentes tienen seguro médico, pero la cobertura no es universal. El Plan de Salud del Gobierno ayuda a personas de bajos ingresos, mientras que otros pueden depender de seguros privados, Medicare o Medicaid. Sin embargo, incluso con estas opciones, persisten las brechas.
Los largos tiempos de espera y la cobertura limitada significan que no todos tienen acceso oportuno al equipo médico duradero (DME) que necesitan para vivir de forma segura y cómoda en casa.
Ahí es donde interviene DONASOL.
Nuestro armario de préstamo de DME
Where does the equipment come from?
Our equipment comes from both in-kind and monetary donations. DonaSOL is a 501(c)(3) federally tax-exempt corporation (EIN 33-4223338), and all donations go directly toward providing durable and non-durable medical equipment, furniture, household goods, and appliances to those in need on Vieques Island.
Can you pick up donated items?
Participants can pick up their items at our location at 467 Calle Magnolia.
Alternatively, items can be delivered if volunteers are available.
Please text us at 734-717-2715 to discuss your specific situation.
Who is eligible to borrow?
The DME service is available at no cost to everyone, with priority given to residents in need.
How does the lending process work?
Every donated item is inspected, cleaned, recorded in our system, and placed in storage.
To borrow, simply call ahead or stop by to check availability. If an item is currently out on loan, we will add you to a waitlist and reach out as soon as it becomes available again.
What do borrowers need to provide?
When checking out items from Donasol's Closet, the responsible party must sign a loan agreement.
Items must be returned when no longer needed so that others may benefit from them.
