I received the below note of thanks re: the recent sponsorship of a 43
year old female b/k whom had no other sources of funding. I thought I would
share it with you and thank professionals Richard Feldman and Bob Tschida
CPO for their sponsorship! Thanks is also due to this O&P listserve, since
we were again able to obtain the sponsorship to help make a difference in
yet another person's life. Over 500 BUAAF recipients have been made Whole
Again thru the generosity and sponsorships of by 60 prosthetists in 42
states and 5 foreign countries.
Thank You!
