Equipment Exchange
If you are the parent of a child with a peroxisomal disorder or a patient with a peroxisomal disorder, we want to hear from you!
What is the GFPD Equipment Exchange Program?
The GFPD Equipment Exchange Program has been a hallmark program of our Foundation since our incorporation in 2010. The program matches families and patients with equipment or supply needs to other families or patients who have medical equipment they are no longer using to fulfill that need.
The GFPD Equipment Exchange is for free items only. No sales will take place through the Equipment Exchange program. Families can request reimbursement of up to $60 for items shipped through the equipment exchange program to other families.
Exceptions may be made on a one-off basis to provide reimbursement for larger items exceeding the $60 limit. Please reach out to us at the email listed below for circumstances requiring additional shipping costs beyond the $60 limit.
