In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland spotlights Amputee Aid and A Leg Forever, two organizations dedicated to helping people with limb loss reclaim independence, confidence, and hope. While each organization has its own unique mission, both are committed to removing barriers by providing financial assistance, equipment, peer support, and other critical resources that help individuals move forward after amputation.
Mike discusses why a supportive community can make all the difference during recovery and beyond. As an added bonus, he thanks Amplitude for the story the posted about him: https://livingwithamplitude.com/take-the-shot-amputee-bowler-returns-to-pba/
