This is not something my dad would ever ask for himself, so I’m gently asking as his daughter.

My dad has always valued his independence and worked hard to take care of himself. Right now, he needs a new above-the-knee prosthetic leg. The prosthetic will be made by Ottobock, a trusted and widely used prosthetics manufacturer. While insurance covers part of the cost, a significant portion is left out of pocket. My hope is to raise $25,000 to help make this next step possible so he can stay mobile and continue living independently.

I’ll be managing the funds and paying prosthetic and related fitting expenses directly.

If you’ve taken a moment to read this, thank you. Any support, whether through a contribution or sharing this page — is deeply appreciated. Your kindness truly makes a difference, and I’m incredibly grateful.
