How We Help
Our Dedicated Process for Guiding Your Journey
Our process ensures every amputee gets the dedicated support they need. Here’s what to expect after getting in touch with our passionate team. Come on, let’s navigate every challenge together.
1. Initial Contact
When hospital staff identify a new amputee or someone awaiting amputation, they reach out to us.
2. Information Gathering
We collect essential details like age, sex, type/level of amputation, reason for amputation, and contact information.
3. Matching Support
We find the most suitable support by matching amputees with volunteers who share similar experiences and characteristics.
4. Facilitating Visits
Our trained, vetted amputees (who are prosthetic users unless otherwise requested), visit the new amputee to offer advice and support.
5. Ongoing Support
We provide the amputee with contacts for user/support groups and maintain regular check-ins to ensure they receive the appropriate support and information.

Our streamlined process has been praised by staff for its ease of use and positive rehabilitation results.
