 Dear Mr. BARR

My name is SEPIDEH SHARIFIAGHDAS.My brother-in law,PETE KITTLES from DALLAS/TEXAS told me about you that you may be able to help us.My husband´s name isMOHSEN ZARGARZADEH and is 45 years old,born in TEHRAN/IRAN and we have two children.Twenty years ago during the war between IRAN and IRAQ he stepped on themine and he lost both his legs.For twenty years he has been wearing very heavy and uncomfortable wooden prosthetic legs that often caused him pain and suffer.

Few months ago our goverment sent him to GERMANY for a job-related assignment,In IRAN we do not have access to a good prosthetic leg like U.S.A and other modern countries, so we decided to use all our savings to get him better prosthetic legs that can give him a little bit comfort.

He got the new one for his lright side but unfortunately because of his weight loss the left side does not fit properly.Now our money is gone and he has to wear something very uncomfortable and go to work. We do not have money any more.Please help us to get him something that would work well for him and fit properly ( light weight) that he can at least enjoy his life after 20 years of pain and suffer.Please help us.We need your help and god bless you.

yours sincerely;
SEPIDEH SHARIFIAGHDAS

 P.S: We are in GERMANY until the end of december 2002
