David,
Many thanks for the recognition to our organization .
I commend your own personal generosity by providing discounted services, as
well as the generous humanitarian contributions made by several
manufacturers, to help this young man.
Over 80 prosthetists and some 60 manufacturers, recognized on our web site
www.oandp.com/barr , have donated or discounted goods or services to assist
over 600 amputees world wide whom otherwise could not afford successful
prosthetic rehabilitation.
Your words are a testimonial to accomplishments that can be achieved thru
the gracious and unselfish contributions from both the profession and the
industry. The Barr Foundation is rewarded in mixing the two toward common
cause to reach such a successful conclusion.Thank you all.
