Dear Ms. Godwin,

Thank you for your email.

Let me connect you (via this note) with the entire O&P community. I am
cc'ing here a listserver that has subscribers far and wide around the world,
and I am sure that there are many generous individuals on line who will be
able to help you in a more substantial way than I at this point. In the
meantime, let me keep your contact information on hand so that I can let you
know more about the O&P Fund and its future projects. I am happy to do so,
and to help further in any way I can. Let's keep in close touch.

To everyone on the O&P listserver who might be able to help Ms. Godwin,
please would you respond directly to her at:

Many thanks to all, and every best wish to Ms. Godwin and her colleague!

Sincerely,

Jeff Reznick

Hi- I am a PsychoSocial Delegate for IFRC here in Kosovo. I have a
beneficiary who was tortured, got gangrene, then was tortured specific to
gangrene and is losing his toes, fingers, and eventually legs.He is a 37 yo
farmer with two small children, a young wife and a mother going blind that
he is trying to care for. I have been able to assist him with his PTSD and
depression, but it would be great if we could get him some access to
prostheses where he can still get around as this is definitely not
wheelchair country. Since I have begun working with him, he is riding a bike
around which gets him around and helps the circulation. Do you know of any
place I might be able to get some help for him with this? He was a farmer
before, so lived by the strength of his body, he is 37 years old. Thanks for
any information you can share with me or contacts. Ann Godwin
