The Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund (OPAF) offers the following
information in cooperation with Adopt-A-Minefield
( <URL Redacted>) and the New York City Mayor's Office for
People with Disabilities ( <URL Redacted>) as a public
service announcement (PSA) that helps to fulfill OPAF's official
representation of O&P in community and philanthropic circles.
OPAF aims primarily to enable individuals with physical disabilities --
especially those served by members of the U.S. orthotics and prosthetics
community -- to enjoy the rewards of personal achievement, physical
fitness, and social interaction. In achieving this goal, the Fund also
seeks to help raise public awareness of the benefits that individuals
with physical disabilities receive from physical activity, orthotics,
and prosthetics. Complete information about OPAF is available at
<URL Redacted>.

The New York City Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities would like
to share some information about Julio Montoya, recognizing that OPAF may
be able to offer him technical assistance. Mr. Montoya is a Peruvian
landmine survivor who lost a leg and uses a prosthesis. Mr. Montoya is
walking from Boston to Miami to raise awareness of people with
disabilities. After arriving in New York last Wednesday, July 14, the
Mayor's Office directed Mr. Montoya to Bellevue Hospital where he
received much-needed treatment for his prosthesis. There is a good
chance that Mr. Montoya may experience additional injuries as he
continues his walk south.
If you or someone you know would be willing to offer free technical
assistance to Mr. Montoya during the course of his journey, please
contact Mr. Montoya directly through his cell phone at: (240) 876-5490.
