Jason, -yes the Barr Foundation does accept used prostheses,supplies and
components, providing its a Endo skeletal designed prosthesis.
If you could remove the socket prior to shipping,that would be helpful-if
not we will do that when it is received.
The Barr Foundation would appreciate receiving the prosthetic devices you
are referring to in your below inquiry specifically for our third world
efforts further described at our web site at www.oandp.com/barr
Dollar donations are also gratefully received.
Upon receiving your in-kind donation we will acknowledge the donation and
provide you or the donor with our fed tax ID# so that you may donate the
items for tax purposes. You may also deduct from your ordinary income the
cost for reasonable shipping costs incurred .
Please enclose to whom our acknowledgement should go to in the shipment
box/container.
When in doubt of reusable condition for reapplication ,do not send!
All good condition stump socks,sheaths, shrinkers can be toughly washed and
reused.
Presently we provide prosthetic rehabilitation assistance programs with
Rotary Clubs in Guyana, South America and Honduras,Central America as well
as domestically thru USA sponsoring prosthetists (over 1200 amputees
sponsored by 440 prosthetists to date!)
see www.oandp.com/resources/organizations/barr/list.htm
We also accommodate other legitimate non profits requests in donating
selected components to their specific efforts.
We do not declare value to any in-kind donations .However, the donors may
determine, thru their tax accountants, if there are possible tax benefits
for their donations.However, more importantly, I can assure you that any
amputee that we use the components for will not be charged any fees
whatsoever.
If you have any additional questions or concerns please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Subject: [OANDP-L] Donating prosthetic components
Hi everyone,
I have recently had a few amputees pass away, and it was the family member's
express wish to donate whatever parts could be salvaged to a mission trip. I
have 2 (right and Left) K2 Ossur feet with pylons, tube clamps, and 214
Ossur locks. I also have a Left AK 3R45 knee with pylon and foot. Is anyone
going on a mission trip soon, or does anyone know of someone in a 3rd world
country that coulduse these parts?
Thanks
