honor their recent donation of a C-Leg prosthesis to our organization, in
memory of their son Paul who recently passed away.

The tax deductible donation is in the name of the Paul Corbin Memorial.

We are soliciting for appropriate candidates,referred from certified C-leg
providers, to submit applicants for the microprocessor-controlled knee
device.

No service warranties nor manufacturers representations or grantees will be
provided and the applicant must execute waivers to any future claims or
liability issues.

The sponsoring prosthetist , is required to be a certified C-leg
practitioner and be willing to examine and review the unit as to its current
workable and functioning condition and submit individual appropriate
applicants whom otherwise have no funding,and would considered be good
candidates for this hi-tech prosthetic device.

They are appropriate for people who:


* Are transfemoral amputees, including those with bilateral limb
deficiencies or hip disarticulation amputations

stability

providers, got into this business to help people, that you are accomplishing
allot and are appreciated by those that you help..
