Fort Worth Amputee Coalition

We currently received 501(c)-3 status and we would like to build on our model as an outreach for the amputee community by garnering funds to support those who cannot afford prosthetic limbs as well as giving scholarships to children who age out of the state funded programs for prosthetic provision, so that they may attend college and hopefully find careers where they may become insured in the future. We are also looking to provide better education for and about the amputee community. This entails website maintenance, educational material production and equipment upkeep.

Our Needs

As we branch out into this new role as a philanthropic entity, we have found that we are in need of charitable donations to help us assist the community. Prosthetic limbs are not cheap, and we may not be able to provide complete limbs at this phase of our journey, but we may be able to, with the help of the giving community, offset the cost. To that end, we are seeking to raise $10,000 to use for the indigent population and as scholarships to assist children who already use prosthetics to attend college.
