VISION:
The Heather Abbott Foundation envisions a world where individuals who have suffered limb loss through traumatic circumstances can live the lives they want.

MISSION: 
The Heather Abbott Foundation helps provide customized prostheses to those who have suffered limb loss through traumatic circumstances.

Why We Do This:
Individuals who have lost limbs due to traumatic circumstances face physical and emotional obstacles that can leave them feeling over- whelmed. Those who have a strong support system, and access to a caring network able to provide the needed resources, will do the best transitioning to their new life. Unfortunately, for most amputees, the steep price of a customized prosthetic device alone is too great a hurdle to overcome. While most insurance companies will cover a portion of the cost for a basic prosthetic device, they will not help with specialty prostheses. These devices range in price from $15,000 to more than $100,000, making them far too expensive for anyone hoping to regain more of the life they once lived.

Please keep in mind that we are not able to assist all individuals who apply. In the event that we aren’t able to help you, we will do our best to refer you to other charitable organizations who may have the resources you need.
