Donate Money.
Please consider donating money directly to the workers who need it most,
rather than to the project.
Materials Donations.
Material donations come from a good heart, and can be very useful. Sometimes
however, they can be totally useless to PROJIMO and even a nuisance to store
and/or get rid of, if the materials are not appropriate for the environment that
PROJIMO functions in.
For example: PROJIMO has no use for gynecological examination tables. (and yes,
those have been sent!) It might be possible that PROJIMO could eventually find a
destination for such equipment, but such a search effort would divert time and
money from the Project's regular work.
Before you send anything, even before you start collecting anything:
Please contact PROJIMO and ASK what is most needed at that point in time.
Things that MIGHT be useful: (Please, ASK first!)
RECREATION
if in good shape:
| board games, puzzles, |
| t-ball, baseball, |
| billiard, ping-pong, ... |
Rehabilitation equipment:
| Electric wheelchairs and scooters. |
|
|
The use of electric wheelchairs is very limited in Mexico.
Even in cities, there is little attention to accessible construction of
roads and buildings. If there is no ramp to get onto the curb, or the
entry into the store has a step, you are in trouble!
When there is the occasional need for an electric wheelchair, it usually
is for a quadriplegic patient who has problems using a manual wheelchair.
Please call and ask. |

If you would like to donate a power chair,
consider this alternative:
Rather than sending the chair to Mexico (at considerable expense?) sell it
locally, and send the money instead.
Even if you would receive only a quarter of the original purchase price,
PROJIMO will be able to build many wheelchairs with the supplies it can
buy with that money! |
| VERY USEFUL = materials to make wheelchairs (metal tubing,
spare parts, casters, wheels, etc...)
|
| Wheelchair cushions of all possible types and
sizes. (foam, air, gel, composite,...) Roho, Jay, ...
 | Wheelchairs can be built in PROJIMO. Good wheelchair cushions are so
much harder to obtain. |
