No Donation Is Too Small
Julien was born with one arm shorter than the other, which requires him to wear a Taylor Spatial Frame, which slowly pulls his wrist back into position. Unfortunately, the device is heavy and caused Julien pain when his arm rests at his side. Looking for a solution Julien and his parents came to The Lending Cupboard™ (TLC) for a wheelchair, allowing Julien to comfortably rest his arm on a pillow across his lap. “It’s less painful for him and he can be out doing things for longer periods of time," Leita, Julien’s mom told us. Not to mention, Julien loves having the wheelchair!
Wanting to pay it forward, Julien decided to donate to TLC.
“I wanted to donate so that (TLC) could have more stuff, just in case a lot of people needed something, (it would) help with not running out.”
As he pointed out, a client could end up visiting and not be able to get the equipment that they might really need. “The money can help with getting more equipment to help!”
Every donation helps ensure equipment is available to those in need

Why monthly giving matters
Consistent care: Equipment ready when it’s needed
Community first: Supporting safety, independence and dignity
From the heart: Monthly gifts that create lasting impact
Your monthly giving allows the following to happen:
$10 per month – The gift of independence
Your monthly $10 gift helps us maintain and sanitize essential medical equipment – items like canes, bath seats and crutches. These tools restore mobility, dignity and safety for someone recovering at home. This small act of generosity ensures that another neighbour can confidently navigate daily life.
$25 per month – The gift of mobility
A monthly contribution of $25 supports the repair and readiness of our most frequently loaned items, such as walkers and wheelchairs. Your support ensures that families facing illness, injury or mobility challenges can access what they need—quickly, safely and without financial burden.
$50 per month – The gift of comfort and care
Transforms lives every single month
Your $50 monthly gift helps us keep specialized equipment in circulation, including patient lifts, Broda chairs and pediatric supports. Families facing difficult health transitions depend on these items every day, and your support ensures they remain available—clean safe and ready to use at a moment notice.
$100 per month – The gift of community impact
A legacy of care
A $100 monthly gift provides deep, sustaining support that strengthens our entire operation—from equipment refurbishment to volunteer coordination to expanding our service capacity. This level of giving helps thousands of Central Albertans access essential supports each year. You are helping build a healthier, more compassionate community, one loan at a time.
