Subject: [OANDP-L] client looking for support
Dear Friends,
I have a 40-ish year old female client who was born with PFFD. She spent
much of her time in hospital as a child ending up with a very long
transfemoral residual limb. She has been a successful TF prosthetic user for
years. Unfortunately, she feels quite alone at times in her daily life and
has requested your help. Do you have any clients her age with similar
histories. I think she really needs an online friend to talk to, to help her
cope with her life situations. She has a computer with email and internet
access and would like to find a reliable friend (or support group.)
I look forward to your responses. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Kristin Schafer, CP(c)
