“We are like men who have lost their legs; they never grow new ones.”

This has never been truer for our dear friend Richard Q, who last year went from being a single amputee to a double amputee.

For the past year, Richard has been caught in a bureaucratic tangle while trying to get prosthetic legs covered. In the meantime, he still needs them in order to regain his mobility, independence, and quality of life. The out-of-pocket cost for two prosthetic legs is $30,000.

If official coverage comes through later, every dollar raised will still go directly toward Richard’s health and independence—physical therapy, retrofitting a vehicle, or making a home accessible.

Anyone who knows Richard knows what a beacon of light he is—his humor, wisdom, and quiet strength brighten the lives of everyone around him. Truly, no one is more deserving.

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this campaign far and wide. Together, we can help Richard walk again.
