Below is a summary of a A/K amputee in need of a qualified prosthetist located in the Virgin Islands or Northern Caribbean.
If you have information of practitioners practicing there please let me know how to contact them.
Thank You

I am sending this email on behalf of a friend whom I recently met while
vacationing in the British Virgin Islands. He is a young man, in his early
30's with basically no income (he was a taxi driver) before his accident
(brakes lost on truck going down very steep grade) making him an AKA and
now existing day to day with not many choices for employment on an island
that survives on tourism.. He has walked on crutches for the past three
years and considering his locale wasn't sure of his options for securing a
prosthetic device. Are you aware of any amputee affiliations within the
northern Caribbean where he may start his search? Any guidance you can
give would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time.
