How you can help Eve

Well, it's hard to believe but Eve will be 4 years old next month. Where has the time gone? Anyhow, for those of you that usually try to get Eve a birthday gift I have found something that I think will work for everyone. There is a website that sells special needs equipment. They have a new feature called "kiddie pool." Basically, I can set up a wish list for equipment for Eve (something that insurance won't cover) and friends/family can buy gift certificates that will be pooled together to buy that item. It's so hard to buy things for Eve. Everyone has been so generous in the past with toys and clothes, that we really don't need anymore of those things for her.
What we do need is a seat for her to play and eat in. We have placed on our wish list a Tiger Serval highlow seat and a tray and trunk support accessories. Insurance won't pay for a seat because they already bought the wheelchair. The wheelchair would be okay for her to eat in, but it's too low to the ground. This chair will raise up or lower down and would allow Eve to eat at the table or play close to the floor with Josie. I know it's crazy expensive, but in small amounts we will get there eventually. The link to Eve's kiddie pool page: www.adaptivemall.com/evec.html
It will show you the equipment we are working toward and also show our progress. This is only a suggestion for you if you were planning to buy somthing for Eve. This is not a request. Thank you so much for your love and prayers!

Duchess,
I went to make a donation yesterday, but I aborted it because I wasn't sure what to do about the "Shipping Address" - are we supposed to fill that in with your name and address, or do we skip that because the donation is on Eve's page? I was confused. Cheers, Queen K
