How can I find a free electric hospital bed for my friend's mom?

I am new to this site. Just putting this out in the universe and asking if someone can, "Pay it forward".
I am looking for a donation of an electric hospital bed for a bedridden Grandma.
Does anyone out there have a hospital bed for donation they need to get rid of or know of resources to contact for donations?
We are in Elmira, NY (Upstate).
Does it have a remote that can move the bed up and down?
My friend's mom is on disability and a senior, so unable to afford the cost of a new bed.
My friend is a single mom of 4 and not financially able to buy a bed.
She is moving into a new home, Jan 1st, finally having the space to have a bed installed and this would get her mom out of the chair she has been confined to, for over 2 years.
Much gratitude and looking forward to hearing some advice on where to get a bed for her ASAP! Happy Holidays, Y'All.

Also, if shes qualified for hospice care by chance, they will bring her a hospital bed paid for by Medicare for the duration of her hospice care.

I’ve seen them cheap or free on FB marketplace and Craigslist. They seem to be available in waves- there will none for awhile and suddenly, many available

Your friend needs to have an electric hospital bed prescribed by mom's doctor. Medicare will cover it as durable medical equipment.

Has your friend applied for Medicaid for her mother? It sounds as though she would benefit from a case manager.
