Lee Weinland is not just my neighbor, but also a cherished member of our church community. He has always been the first to lend a hand or offer support when someone else is in need. Now, Lee is facing a challenge of his own and could use the kindness he’s so often shown to others.

Lee lost his leg due to the side effects of cancer treatment. Thanks to the generosity of a previous GoFundMe campaign, he has been able to use a power wheelchair and drive a handicap van, which have been essential for his independence. Now, there is exciting news—Lee’s insurance has approved a robotic prosthetic leg! At the end of January, he will travel to Phoenix for a custom fitting and physical therapy. The journey comes with many expenses—gas, lodging, food, and the co-pay for the prosthesis itself. The travel and medical expenses are significant, especially on top of the ongoing medical bills Lee has managed for years. Despite these hurdles, Lee remains hopeful and determined to regain more independence in his daily life.

Lee is an active part of our community. He plays in the praise band at his church, volunteers as a caretaker for other disabled individuals, drives veterans to VA appointments, and even teaches a music class to seniors—sharing his love of guitar with others. Currently, Lee relies on his electric wheelchair to get around, but with the new robotic prosthesis, he dreams of walking short distances and even climbing stairs—something that would have a huge impact on his quality of life. Your support can help make this dream a reality. If you’re able, please consider contributing to Lee’s fundraiser. Every donation, no matter the size, brings him one step closer to walking again. Thank you for helping someone who has always been there for others.
