To make a long sad story short, i have a lift machine, a standing machine, and a wheelchair with battery powered wheels. I dont want to just throw them away, i want to donate them so that some one else can better from their use. Any suggestions on who i should call or what i should do?

Here is an organization in Arizona that has a newsletter where you can advertise. Perhaps you can find something similar in your area by searching on your state and the words "Assistive Technology".
The goal of the Arizona Assistive Technology Exchange hosted by AzTAP is to put AssistiveTechnology equipment that is not currently being used into the hands of someone who can benefit from it. For more info go to: http://www.azatexchange.org/home.php

Call your local non-profit hospital. Get a receipt as you can use it for tax deduction. I don't know if they will accept it, but it is worth a shot. It will depend on their condition, and then their bioengineer department has to say that it is in good enough condition. If not, Medical schools, Nursing Schools, and Physical therapy schools also need this equipment and depend on donations to help educate the up and coming health proffesionals.

Wow that's very generous of you. I know my hospital goes on mercy missions to third world countries to perform life saving surgeries. Perhaps closer to home someone in your community needs those items, maybe a penny-saver ad or donate to a church group or nursing home? Or what about a different hospital or hospice. Good luck and God bless u
