Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

The Power of Prosthetics

It is estimated that 1 in 10 amputees are unable to obtain a prosthesis due to financial difficulty, and in Texas, Medicaid does not cover prosthetics for adults. Depending on the level of function the amputee needs to regain, the cost of the prosthetic components can be high. The Power of Prosthetics works to provide under-served amputees the ability to obtain a prosthetic limb without undue financial burden. Our program provides up to $3,000 for a below-the-knee amputation, and $5,000 for an above-the-knee amputation.

Population(s) Served
Economically disadvantaged people
People with physical disabilities
