Our amputee care and outreach coordinator, Josh, was on "Limping Out Of The Fire" and one of the hosts is our patient Seth Williams.
Give a listen and a share if you feel so inclined. ❤️🫡🦿

How would you react if the one thing that connects you to the world—your ability to walk—was stripped away in an instant? Most people see the prosthetic leg;...

This video hits different when you know the full story.

We traveled to Mexico to help people who have little to no access to medical care or prosthetic services. No clinics on every corner. No insurance safety net. No easy follow-ups. Just people doing the best they can with what they have.

We packed everything we could fit into a car and crossed the border to help five local amputees take their next steps. For some of them, this was the first real prosthetic care they’ve ever received.

Every step you see here represents hope, dignity, and possibility. It’s a reminder that something we may take for granted can completely change someone else’s life.

This is only the beginning. We’re already planning to return in a few months to continue the work and keep building something sustainable for these patients.

Follow along as we share this journey, the stories, the wins, and the reality of what access to care truly means.

Sometimes the smallest steps create the biggest impact.

This is Tia.

What you don’t see in this picture is fear.
What you do see is trust, courage, and a whole lot of determination.

Every step she takes reminds us why we do this work. Not just to help kids walk—but to help them believe in themselves.

Tia, you’re doing amazing things. 💙

Before the steps…
Before the confidence…
Before life feels normal again…

There’s this.

A socket built by hand, shaped with purpose, and designed to give someone their independence back. Progress doesn’t happen all at once. It’s built layer by layer.

This is where comfort is made.

Jude is dialing in the trim lines on a carbon fiber socket. Millimeters matter here. Too high, it bites. Too low, you lose control. This step isn’t flashy, but it’s everything.

This is hands-on craftsmanship. No shortcuts. No templates. Just experience, patience, and knowing exactly how a socket should feel before a patient ever puts it on.

It’s not magic. It’s skill.
And it’s done right.

We asked Paul a question a lot of amputees wonder about but don’t always ask:

Should an amputee ever take a break from wearing their prosthesis?

The answer is yes—if you’re having issues like pain, skin problems, or fit concerns.

But the real goal?
That wearing your prosthesis feels normal.

Just like glasses or contacts.
You put it on in the morning… and don’t think about it all day.

If you’re constantly aware of it, something needs attention—and that’s okay. That’s part of the process.

This is the part of prosthetics most people never see.

In this short clip, Bryan is carefully crafting a partial hand prosthesis—millimeters matter, details matter, and precision matters.

This isn’t mass production.
It’s hands-on work, built for one person, one function, one life.

That’s how it should be done.

We asked Paul a simple but powerful question:
“What’s one thing you wish every new amputee knew and truly believed?”

His answer was immediate:
That they will be able to walk.

Too often, new amputees hear doubt early on — sometimes unintentionally — from well-meaning professionals. And that doubt sticks.

The truth is this: with the right care, the right prosthetic fit, and the right support, walking again is not just possible — it’s expected.

Belief matters. Especially at the beginning.
