Carseat and Wheelchair

I am trying to clean out things that we no longer need, but could be a use to others. I still have Kyara's special needs carseat. It is a Roosevelt carseat and goes up to 150 lbs. I would like to find a family that has a special needs child that would use it. I don't want to just take it to some odd corporation for it to be "borrowed" or placed. Maybe it is silly, but I want to know who I am giving it to. So, if anyone knows someone who is in need, please give them this blog and tell them to leave a comment with an email address. I would like to give it to someone who will use it.

I also have Kyara's wheelchair. It is a zippy pediatric chair with recline. Since it has her name on it, I am not sure what to do with it. I am thinking about giving it back to wheelchair place so they can use it as a loaner, but if someone needed it, I would prefer that.

I have mixed emotions when it comes to getting rid of these things. I am sad because they were Kyara's and I don't want to get rid of anything that was hers. At the same time, I don't want to keep them. They are of NO use to us, they could be useful for someone else, and this is not how I want to remember Kyara. So, I really don't understand why have this tugging that says "Hold on to it." Why has it taken me so long to put it out there? Because it was hers. But, knowing it will help someone else. Knowing the COST involved with special needs equipment, it will be a blessing to find these items a new home.
