Knees and Feet Needed for Terrorism Victims in Nigeria

*Good Evening list,*

*
*

*I have posted here before asking for donated components, Our team has made
2 trips into Nigeria this year and we have fit over 30 patients who wear
victims of boko haram Islamist terror attacks with upper and lower
extremity prosthetics. More importantly, we are actively training a team of
passionate young men and women in prosthetic fabrication and rehabilitation
with the plan to develop prosthetic care in areas of Nigeria where it is
unavailable.*

*I have included a list below of the specific needs we have at this point
with the sizes and measurements. We are always short on knees and feet.*

*We would like to see prosthetic care be made available to people of varied
economic levels.*
