The Barr Foundation has been contacted by Alfredo Ghirardi, a 30 year old
b/k amputee for prosthetic assistance from Cordoba, Argentina.He has been an
B/K since the age of 5 years old when he lost his leg as the result of a
farming accident.
His general health is excellent and has been successfully rehabilitated
since.
He currently requires another prosthesis be provided for him.
The Barr Foundation would consider funding the cost of fabrication and
possibly provide the required components if we were able to locate a
qualified prosthetist in his area of Argentina to evaluate the applicant and
confirm that he has no other sources of funding. The young man also wants to
learn the profession of O&P to assist others in his country.
Please reply if you know of a qualified prosthetist in Argentina. I can
contact and at least evaluate the patient.
I will put him in contact with you and fed ex the application for the terms
of payment for the sponsorship.
If you are unable to reply in english we can have your reply translated.
Thank You,
Tony Barr
