Bilateral Bootcamp for AK Amputee
Donation protected
Hi - I am a prosthetist working with a patient who has bilateral above knee amputations. He does not have access to email or facebook therefore I created this gofundme page for him!
He has been on a slow recovery and we are trying to get him to the Bilateral Bootcamp for above knee amputees (http://www.hangerclinic.com/limb-loss/adult-lower-extremity/Pages/bootcamp.aspx?refer=bootcamp)
where they will have 4 days of intensive physical therapy and training.
He is pictured here with his current legs - we are making him new ones RIGHT NOW in preparation for him to go to the bilateral bootcamp, but we need funding in order to send him for therapy.
He is a very motivated individual who hopes to return to work after he is able to balance and walk on his own. Right now he is limited to walking in parallel bars and with a walker however he doesn't feel confident enough to walk on his own - which is why the bootcamp would be so beneficial to his treatment!
Please consider donating in order for him to participate in this much needed therapy where he will be among others with bilateral above knee amputations as well as specialists trained to work with people with amputations to increase their functional abilities.
Thank you in advance for any amount that you're able to contribute!
The money will be going towards his airfare, hotel stay, and food for the 4 days as well as transportation needs to and from the airport. The training itself is covered we just need to get him there!
