Prestige Cares

Chamber Donation Program

Somewhere there is a hyperbaric chamber taking up a garage. Somewhere else there is a nonprofit healing veterans, a family fighting cancer, or an animal rescue that cannot afford one. We exist in the middle of that, and we do the part nobody wants to do — the verifying, the hauling, and the install.

Looking to Donate

You have a chamber you are not using. Tell us what it is, what shape it is in, and why you want it to go somewhere good. You can hand us the decision, or pick the Care Case you want it to reach.

  • Soft-shell, hard-shell, any brand, any age
  • We arrange pickup, transport, and the install
  • Choose a specific Care Case, or let us place it
  • You find out exactly where it ended up

Takes about five minutes. Nothing is committed until we talk.

Looking for HBOT Assistance

Make your case. Who you are, what you are dealing with, where the chamber would live, and who it would help. If it checks out we publish it as a Care Case so a donor can choose you directly.

  • Nonprofits serving veterans and people in need
  • Individuals fighting a life-threatening illness
  • Nonprofit animal rescues and sanctuaries
  • Published as first name and state only, with your consent
  • No cost to you — not the chamber, not the install

Documentation is reviewed privately and never published.

Who qualifies

Prestige Cares is narrow on purpose. A donated chamber is a single, physical, expensive thing, and there is only ever one of it — so it goes where it changes the most. Three groups qualify.

Nonprofits serving veterans and people in need

Registered nonprofits whose work is healing and recovery — veteran service organizations, PTSD and TBI programs, recovery housing, and community health groups serving people who cannot afford care.

  • 501(c)(3) or equivalent registered nonprofit
  • IRS determination letter and EIN on file
  • A named place the chamber will live and operate
  • Someone accountable for running and maintaining it

People fighting a life-threatening illness

Individuals with a severe, life-threatening diagnosis — cancer and other serious conditions — where a chamber at home would change what recovery looks like and buying one is out of reach.

  • A letter from your licensed treating provider
  • A safe, powered, ventilated place to install it
  • Published as first name and state only, with consent
  • Individuals and families both welcome

Nonprofits healing animals

Rescues, sanctuaries, and nonprofit veterinary programs using hyperbaric therapy in animal recovery — post-surgical cases, wounds, burns, and rescues coming out of neglect.

  • Registered nonprofit rescue, sanctuary, or clinic
  • IRS determination letter and EIN on file
  • Veterinary supervision for chamber use
  • Listed under the organization’s full legal name

What Prestige Cares is not

Prestige Cares is not for general wellness, athletic performance, anti-aging, or recovery interest, and it is not for for-profit clinics, gyms, spas, or med-spas — including ones that treat people in need. It is also not a discount program: a donated chamber cannot be resold, rented out, or billed for. If that is what you are after, our regular catalog, financing, and the free hyperbaric class are open to everyone and we would genuinely rather help you there.

Close to the line but not quite on it? Apply anyway and tell us why. A person reads every one of these, and the worst outcome is a straight answer.

How a chamber actually changes hands

Four steps, and we are in the middle of all four. No donor ever has to haggle with a stranger, and no recipient ever has to prove themselves in public.

1

Someone applies

A person or an organization submits a Care Case explaining the need, where the chamber would live, and who it would serve. A donor separately tells us what they have sitting unused.

2

We verify

We review documentation privately — service records, a physician's letter, or an IRS determination letter and EIN for an organization. Nothing published, nothing forwarded, until it checks out.

3

A match is made

Verified cases are published with first name and state only. A donor can let us place their chamber where it is needed most, or read the open cases and choose the one they want to help.

4

We deliver and install

We coordinate transport, set the chamber up, and walk the recipient through safe operation. Then we introduce the donor to the person they helped.

Open Care Cases

These are real, reviewed, and waiting. 1 open case waiting on a chamber. Every one of them is a person or an organization that told us what they needed and agreed to be listed here.

Want to give money instead?

Then give it to one of these, directly, on their own website. We cannot take a cash donation — Prestige Hyperbaric is a for-profit business and Prestige Cares handles equipment only — so rather than turn you away, here is where that money does real work. Give to them, not to us: money never passes through Prestige, we receive no share, no referral fee, and no credit, and we will not know that you gave. A chamber is also not always the right answer, so if what someone needs is benefits help, training, or care, start here instead of with us.

Prestige Hyperbaric is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or a partner of any organization listed here, and listing one is not a vouch for how it spends its money. These are independent groups we think do good work, and their IRS status and financials are public — check any of them yourself before you give.

WAVES Project

Scuba therapy for combat-wounded veterans. If a veteran's need is water-based rather than chamber-based, start here.

Dive Pirates Foundation

Adaptive scuba training and travel for veterans and injured civilians, funded end to end.

Wounded Warrior Project

National veteran support programs. A cash-donation destination when a chamber is not what is needed.

DAV (Disabled American Veterans)

Benefits claims help, transportation, and emergency aid for disabled veterans and their families.

TreatNOW Coalition

Advocacy and clinician referrals for hyperbaric treatment of traumatic brain injury and PTSD.

Best Friends Animal Society

National no-kill animal welfare network, for anyone whose need is animal rescue rather than equipment.

What Prestige Cares is not, in plain language

We are not a nonprofit. Prestige Hyperbaric is a for-profit Florida business. Prestige Cares is something we run ourselves, at our own cost, because we are already the people moving and installing these chambers. It is not a charity, not a foundation, not a 501(c)(3), and not a registered charitable solicitation. Nothing given through it is a tax-deductible charitable contribution, and we cannot issue a receipt, an acknowledgment letter, or an EIN for a deduction.

We do not take money. Not any amount, not for any reason. Prestige Cares moves physical equipment from one owner to another. We do not accept cash, checks, card payments, wire transfers, crypto, gift cards, or pledges for this program; we do not run a fundraiser, a donation button, a GoFundMe, or a giving page; and we do not take a cut, a commission, a finder's fee, or an administrative fee out of anything. Recipients pay nothing — not for the chamber, not for the transport, not for the install. Donors pay nothing. If anyone contacts you asking for money in the name of Prestige Cares, it is a scam — hang up and email us. If you want to give money somewhere, we will gladly point you at organizations that can actually take it: give directly to a partner instead →

We are not affiliated with anyone. Prestige Cares is independent. We are not partnered with, endorsed by, sponsored by, accredited by, or acting on behalf of any charity, nonprofit, veterans organization, animal-welfare group, church, hospital, insurer, government program, or chamber manufacturer. Any organization named anywhere on this site is named only so people can find help that exists, and that mention is not a relationship in either direction. An applicant being a registered nonprofit does not make Prestige one.

Nothing here is medical or veterinary advice, and nothing is guaranteed. Whether hyperbaric oxygen is appropriate is between a recipient and their own licensed provider, or between a rescue and its veterinarian. Prestige Hyperbaric is a wellness center, not a medical facility. We do not diagnose, prescribe, or treat, we promise no outcome, and applying does not entitle anyone to a chamber — placement depends entirely on whether a donor offers one.
