“Financial assistance, continued: we recognize that not only does the medical care required by our clientele create a financial burden, but even successful recovery may result in significant lack of income. For example, the spring of this year we assisted a carpenter and single dad who required the amputation of his right (dominant) hand after a fall while working. "my life, my form of work, as it was, is now impossible," he wrote when seeking our support. College/vocational scholarships: the limb preservation foundation funds college undergraduate, graduate and technical school scholarships for survivors of limb-threatening conditions involving tumor, trauma and infection within our service area. Lpf has granted 65,000 in scholarships in the past five years. Scholars are eligible to receive up to 2,500 each school year to help achieve bright futures through education.”
