When you give a child mobility, you improve their self-esteem, provide access to education, future employment, and the tools to live self-sufficiently. A Leg To Stand On provides physical, social, and upward mobility for children living with limb disabilities around the world. Since 2003 they have served 22,989 children throughout 11 countries. One prosthetic limb, orthotic device, or wheelchair will transform the life of a child living with a disability.
