Felecia Robinson became an above the knee amputee on March 16, 2021 after suffering complications stemming from a blood clot in her right leg. An Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Machine was placed on her left leg March 11th, causing circulation damage and remained in place through multiple surgeries until March 16th. Prior to this, Felecia lived a healthy life with her husband and three children.
After doing quite a bit of research, Felecia found there is not a central place to go for information, So she decided to take on the challenge and create a website that is a wealth of knowledge and information for people like her.
