Scholarship Testimonial

“Thank you for everything and for granting us scholarships to attend. My first experience in Colorado was unforgettable, with the snow being a highlight! Meeting and networking with other amputees was an amazing experience; I truly felt at home and saw it as a stepping stone for my future endeavors. I’m glad we represented Vegas at the symposium.

Connecting with different amputees made it easy to open up and share our survival stories. You all made us feel welcomed and important. I really enjoyed the experience—thank you once again for everything!”
