To provide children with special needs the necessary tools to achieve maximum independence in their world.  

“We believe that every child has the right to achieve their full potential in their home, at school, during play and recreation.”

Who We Serve

We are a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to connecting children with special needs, from birth to 21 years of age, who have little or no funding, with needed durable adaptive equipment. 

At Present, TKEN can only accomodate Children's needs in the Chicagoland area of Illinois.

Vision and History

TKEN was founded in 2005 by a group of caring professional and community members who share a common interest in assisting children with special needs. Of particular concern was the realization that many children lack the adaptive equipment needed to provide opportunities for independence and mobility at home and within their community.

TKEN was founded to help children and young adults whose families have insufficient or no funding for essential equipment. We do so by providing them with gently used and refurbished durable medical and adaptive equipment.
