According to The National Limb Loss Information Center and John Hopkins University, there are approximately 2 Million Americans that have suffered an amputation. Vascular diseases (such as diabetes), Kidney disease, Infections and Trauma (from car, motorcycle, construction and workplace accidents) contribute to the anticipated 185,000 new amputations that occur every year in the United States.
If you or someone you know has suffered an amputation, you likely understand the life-altering changes and the emotional toll incurred, as well as the impact on day-to-day activities and even career choices for all family members. The cost for a single prosthesis may range from just under $10,000 to over $80,000, depending on the device and its technology. Initial Prosthesis may only be temporary and require changing or upgrading after a few months of use.
The Osborne & Francis Amputation Foundation provides financial assistance to survivors of severe injuries often associated with the treatment of medical conditions, industrial and construction accidents, motorcycle and traffic collisions, as well as defective products. The foundation also considers those who may have suffered a birth injury or defect, depending on the circumstances.
The foundation offers awards to individuals annually up to $10,000.00, per person.
