Since it's inception, nolimbits has been an incredible resource to individuals who have experienced limb loss. The organization has helped families navigate rehabilitation, provided life changing adaptive equipment and prosthetics, and inspired brighter futures.
We hope you will join us in our mission to provide possibilities for those with disabilities.
In 2024, we again helped sponsor the Mary Free Bed Team who are currently in Guatemala helping survivors of limb loss get their first prosthetic legs.
In addition, we have had the privilege of mentoring several people facing limb loss.
One of those individuals, Lynne, developed sepsis in the Spring of 2024 and , ultimately, underwent below knee and below elbow amputations on all 4 limbs. Nolimbits helped advocate for Lynne to receive the excellent rehabilitation care that I so fortunately accessed and funded inpatient treatment at Mary Free Bed that was not covered by insurance. Marty and I joined Lynne and her husband last week at Roses for her first dinner out with prosthetic arms and legs.
Earlier Projects:
Nolimbits purchased a wheelchair accessible van for Mawqar, a 10 year old with cerebral palsy who was unable to participate in community activities due to mobility challenges .
