Dear Colleagues,
Peter and Gracie Rosenberger are the founders of Standing With Hope a mission outreach to provide prostheses.
Standing With Hope provides training in building endoskeleton below the knee prosthetic limbs (like Gracie's) for amputees in Ghana, West Africa. With the training provided by Standing With Hope, the workers in Ghana are able to serve their own people. Standing With Hope continues to provide the technicians in Ghana at the Ministry of Health with supplies including prosthetic socks, artificial feet, and other materials needed for creating quality prostheses. With the success in Ghana, Standing With Hope is developing plans to go into another country to provide prosthetic services.
The organization receives products from many of our prosthetic component suppliers. The suppliers are listed on the website.
The Facebook Group is Standing With Hope Supporters

They have a pallet of supplies leaving in two weeks, and have some major financial commitments to this work in Ghana in preparation for our trip …and the need is a little over $20,000 within a week.
If you would be so kind to help get the word out …and ask others to get the word out to their list. I think this is a cause that people would be proud to get behind …even in this economy. Any contribution (large or small) is fully tax-deductible and can be made online at:
