Do you have any spare Hosmer Dorrance Terminal Devices (TD's)
that you could donate to some amputees whose arms were cut off by rebel
terrorists? I am trying to locate some for a humanitarian mission in early
February which will supply & fit limbs on 200 amputees in Sierra Leone, West
Africa. This is a revolutionary new arm system with a socketless mounting
platform. It was developed by a triple amputee specifically to benefit third
world amputees who otherwise would never have an opportunity for a limb.
They already completed a successful mission last September in Sierra Leone
where they fit limbs quickly on adults and children. The mission is
described on the website: www.worldhope.net. Click Countries, then click
Limbs of Hope (at the bottom). You can also click Sierra Leone too.
   Please e-mail me at elfmon@aolcom with any questions and I hope you can
help.
                                       Regards,
                                       Shila Baer
P.S. Perhaps, someone you fitted in the past has a used one that they no
longer need.
