A Fact Sheet From Our National Limb Loss Resource Center
While the Amputee Coalition’s National Limb Loss Resource Center serves United States residents, there are many organizations who can help people with limb loss or limb difference outside of the country.
The Coalition recently published an updated fact sheet titled “Global Resources for People With Limb Loss and Limb Difference.” You can find the full document online at blog.amputeecoalition.org or the National Limb Loss Resource Center (https://www.amputee-coalition.org/resources/global-resources-amputees-limb-lossdifference/).
How to request services
This new fact sheet on global resources contains information about charitable nonprofit organizations that aid with funding and provide prosthetic care to people worldwide. Each organization listed is also categorized by geographic service areas.
If you have questions about your eligibility or wish to request support from one of these organizations, please contact them directly.
