The War Amps have begun their 2022 key tag mailings to Red Deer this week with the theme, “You Make Our Programs Possible.”
Officials say donations to the Key Tag Service provide vital support to amputees across the country including Nate Collier, 9, of Red Deer.
Nate is a partial left hand amputee and, as a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, is eligible for financial assistance for artificial limbs and adaptive devices, as well as peer support.
“The support from The War Amps has meant a lot to Nate and our family,” says Nate’s mom, Jodi. “He has been fitted with devices which allow him to hold a hockey stick and take part in activities just like any other child. We have also attended seminars where he has been able to meet kids just like him.”
