Dear List,
On November 15 I will be accompanying a group of physicians on mission trip
to Haiti. This is an impoverished country in drastic need of medical
services.
They recently opened another orthotic and prosthetic facility in the country
and need supplies. I am seeking donations of new and used orthotic and
prosthetic components. Things such as connectors, feet, joints, sleeves, and
upper
extremity parts would be greatly appreciated. If you can help, please email
me
and we will work out the details. This is your chance to do something good
for
your fellow man.

Thanks in advance,
Jim Dugosh, CPO
