Enabling Safety, Mobility
and Independence for Children
Helping Children with disabilities is our Mission!
Kids Mobility Network is working hard to help
children with disabilities and their families to attain the
appropriate DME that is so critical to a child's development.
Utilizing DME, children can better access their
communities and more easily interact with their peers, which builds
self-esteem and self- confidence.
If you'd like to help Kids Mobility Network with
their mission, we welcome your support. We are a non-profit
organization and we rely upon donations from the community to
continue our important work. Click here

Below are just a few examples of how Kids Mobility Network
has helped children in Colorado to attain the necessary durable medical
equipment to safely access their community and enhance their lives.
Here's a recent touching story on 9News about one of Kids
Mobility Network's friends. Kids Mobility Network provided the
wheelchair in the video.
Gait Trainer Placement
Djimon is an eight-year-old boy with Cerebral
Palsy. He was recently adopted by his Aunt and
Uncle. He will soon be a Medicaid client, however,
is waiting for approval. Djimon had outgrown his
previous gait trainer and was no longer able to enjoy
the independence that such a device provides.
Kids Mobility Network provided a Bronco gait trainer
for Djimon. He now can safely play in the driveway
with his siblings again. His smile tells the
story!
While the situations differ, the results are the same!
Each child served at Kids Mobility Network has unique situations that limit their
ability to attain the appropriate durable medical equipment.
Kids Mobility Network is changing the ending of their stories,
however, and the children tell the entire story with their smiles!
Gait Trainer Placement
Aidan is a two-year-old boy with Cerebral
Palsy. His family is insured, but has a very high
co-pay for durable medical equipment. Aidan's therapist
felt that it was time for him to get up on his feet and
suggested a gait trainer that had extensive support to
provide a safe environment for weight bearing.
Kids Mobility Network provided Aidan with a Rifton
Pacer gait trainer with all supports. Aidan is now
gaining greater trunk strength and has gained
independence. He has gained greater mobility,
which allows him to better interact with his brothers.
Wheelchair Placement
Nicole is an adorable seven year old girl with
Cerebral Palsy. Nicole had outgrown her previous
wheelchair. The family turned to Kids Mobility
Network.
Kids Mobility Network provided Nicole not only with
the wheelchair pictured here, but also a very high-tech
Mulholland gait trainer.
Wheelchair Placement
Ronnie is an eight-year-old boy with Cerebral
Palsy. The family had extensive delays in getting
approval for a new wheelchair from their primary health
insurance carrier. While working hard to get an
approval, Ronnie outgrew his wheelchair and required a
larger wheelchair for safety. He went months
without a wheelchair.
Kids Mobility Network provided Ronnie with a manual
Quickie wheelchair. After four months he received
his new wheelchair and the family donated ths chair back
to Kids Mobility Network for another child's future
benefit.
Ronnie's mother wrote, "This chair is much more
stable and wouldn't have been possible if we hadn't
found Kids Mobility Network."
Adaptive Tricycle Placement
Alex is a four-year-old boy with limited use and
control of his legs. His family requested a
therapeutic tricycle to build strength in his legs and
hips, and allow him to ride bikes with his sister.
Kids Mobility Network provided an adaptive tricycle
that requires considerably less coordination than a
traditional bicycle, which allows Alex to ride bikes
with his sister, while increasing strength and
coordination in his legs and hips. It is important
to note that Ronnie's family donated the tricycle that
Alex received.
Wheelchair Placement
Jesus is a twelve-year-old boy that lost his right
leg to cancer. His family has very limited options
for helping their son. The family is an
undocumented family without health insurance.
Kids Mobility Network provided a manual Quickie
wheelchair for the family at no cost to them. The
wheelchair provides Jesus the opportunity to get out of
the house and independently access his community.
Kids Mobility Network is dedicated to helping children attain the
durable medical equipment that is so critical to their development.
If you know any child that requires additional durable medical equipment
to advance his or her development, we want to help.
