It's Not What Happens to
You, It's What You do About It.
Before I was
paralyzed, there were 10,000 things I could do. Now there are 9,000. I could
dwell on the 1,000 I lost or focus on the 9,000 I have left.

providing valuable resources, support and the opportunity to network with
other amputees. |

We are a group of people who
have experienced amputation,
whether as a result of congenital conditions, trauma, or medical reasons,
who want to share their experiences and give emotional support to other
amputees.
We strive to educate any person facing or having undergone amputation, as
well as helping their families cope with the circumstances facing them. |

positive forum. |
