In Bolivia, a large number of people lack the necessary income for adequate healthcare. For them losing a limb means losing mobility and independence. Without mobility, many lose their jobs, families and futures. Fundación Prótesis para Bolivia or The Bolivian Prosthetics Foundation (FUNPROBO) is a non-profit organization providing low income Bolivian amputees with prosthetic limbs. FUNPROBO offers patients with a made to measure fitted prosthetics, and physiotherapy to teach them how to walk and live with a prosthetic. This includes ongoing prosthesis care, maintenance and repairs, and access to a community of Bolivian amputees.

This January, I have the privilege of joining this amazing clinic for a month long volunteer trip. This trip is a unique opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the lives of the amputees of La Paz, Bolivia. Additionally working with this clinic will allow me to further develop my skills a Prosthetic Technician and experience a different culture. I have been working hard, taking on extra work and saving money but I still need significant help to afford this life-changing experience. So I would like to raise $1000 to help pay for my flights and accommodations, and I would greatly appreciate any support! Please feel free to post any questions or comments on this page or message me on Facebook.
