Support that moves people forward.
With affordable prosthetic care, Limbs for Life gives amputees their lives back.
Across the U.S., thousands of individuals face limb loss with no insurance, no financial support, and no way forward. Limbs for Life exists to change that. We help uninsured or underinsured amputees regain their lives with prosthetic devices at no charge. We also provide parts and components in both the U.S. and around the world. Together, with our clinic and donor partners, we make sure that individuals without resources can regain the freedom of mobility they deserve.
Richard
Richard was on his way to work when he ran out of gas on a major interstate. He called his father for help, and while the two men worked to get the car running, a distracted driver struck them both: his father was killed instantly, and Richard lost his leg in the crash. With his fiancée (now wife) by his side through his recovery, Richard was provided with the advanced prosthesis he needed to get his life back on track—all thanks to the donors of Limbs for Life.
Lennon
Born with a congenital abnormality that resulted in the loss of her leg, Lennon, an active 9-year-old, dreamed of doing gymnastics and being as active as her friends. Unfortunately, her insurance viewed the type of prosthesis she needed to live a full, active childhood as a luxury. Consequently, these everyday activities were once impossible. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Limbs for Life helped make it possible for Lennon to receive a running prosthesis that enables her to run alongside her friends and teammates. Your gift of mobility allows people like Lennon to live life without limits.
Kelly
Kelly was involved in a seven-car pileup while riding his motorcycle, a crash that nearly took his life. After life-saving surgeries and the loss of his leg, Kelly refused to let his accident slow him down. Kelly lives life with purpose and a passion for serving others. He serves with a summer feeding program, volunteers coaching kids with limb differences, teaches Jiu-Jitsu, and serves as a CPR instructor. Every step he takes is a reminder of the life-changing power of access to prosthetic care.
Limbs for Life Foundation
Limbs for Life steps in where others can’t—providing fully funded prosthetic limbs for those who would otherwise go without. Today, we are honored to be one of the largest payers of uninsured prosthetic patients in the United States.
Our impact tells the story:
People like Richard, Lennon, and Kelly—individuals whose courage defines our mission and whose futures were transformed through access to prosthetic care. At Limbs for Life, we believe it shouldn’t have to happen to you for it to matter to you. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are restoring independence, dignity, and lives across the country.
