Our Service

We provide compression garments to patients who are underinsured and unable to purchase adequate treatment on their own.

You can help. Sponsor a garment for a patient in need! Your donation will go directly to helping an underinsured patient that does not qualify for grant-funded assistance.

We receive grant funds to treat residents of Lee, Charlotte, Collier and other southwest Florida counties, in Florida, from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Southwest Florida. But we receive requests from all over the U.S. We handle these cases as best we can from our general funds, but the need is greater than our resources. You can help by sponsoring a sleeve for one of these patients.
