Support for Amputees: Young Amputee Fundraiser, Hospital Amputation Error, & AbleGamers Impact

In this episode of the We’re Not Stumped podcast, host Mike Bolland covers three impactful stories from the community, each highlighting different aspects of support, accountability, and innovation.

First, we explore a fundraiser organized to assist a young amputee and their family, providing crucial financial support to manage medical expenses. Mike urges others who may know more about this story to reach out so he can share additional information.

Next, Mike discusses a tragic incident at Grace Hospital, where an amputation error resulted in the removal of the wrong leg, sparking an investigation. This heartbreaking event highlights the need for strict medical oversight and patient safety measures.

Lastly, Mike highlights the work of AbleGamers, a nonprofit organization making gaming accessible for people with disabilities. By creating adaptive gaming technology, #AbleGamers opens up a world of connection, creativity, and independence for people with physical limitations. For #amputees and those in other communities, this innovation fosters social inclusion and empowerment through play.

Together, these stories underscore the resilience within the #amputee community and the allies supporting them—from grassroots efforts to medical advocacy and inclusive tech solutions. Join us for this episode celebrating community, compassion, and empowerment.
