John,

You might check with a local independent living organization. In the past,  
I've worked with people who channeled donations through the local IL,  
because the donations are then deductible for the donor, as the IL was  
incorporated as a non-profit. It works out well for the recipient as well,  
because the only thing that might count against their asset limit is the  
piece of equipment. It may work out well for the IL as well, because you  
could set it up so that any donations beyond the cost of the  
wheelchair/stroller could be donated to them. You could also do this with  
another non-profit. I thought of IL first because I used to work for an IL,  
and that's where I first saw the concept used.
