Your Support Makes a Difference

The War Amps is committed to improving the quality of life for amputees, but this wouldn’t be possible without you.

Celebrating 50 years of CHAMP!

For 50 years, War Amps supporters have empowered young amputees in the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. Through CHAMP, child amputees receive artificial limbs, informational resources and the emotional support of a community that knows what it’s like to live with an amputation. Thanks to you, we also continue to better the quality of life for amputees of all ages by advocating for their needs.

Gabriel is very grateful to donors like you.

“Growing up with an amputation, I felt like I didn’t fit in with my peers and I sometimes struggled with not looking the same as other kids.

“I had never met anyone else who was an amputee until my first CHAMP Seminar. There, I met older Champs that I could look up to and who showed me that my amputation didn’t have to limit what I could do. They helped to teach me all about life as an amputee, including taking care of my artificial leg, doing things independently and how to speak confidently about my amputation.

“I would not be the person I am today without the support of War Amps donors. My artificial legs are expensive and are not fully covered by provincial or private insurance. The War Amps covers the remaining cost, so I can have the limbs I need to play hockey, go kayaking and so much more.”

“Many thanks for returning my car keys. I didn’t expect to see them again, so it was a great surprise. Keys are very expensive to replace these days.” Linda
