Join us for our monthly meetup of amputees, where we gather to share stories, support, and learn from each other. Whether you're a recent amputee or have been living with limb loss for years, this is a safe space for you to connect with others who understand what you're going through.

Our meetings feature guest speakers who share their experiences and expertise on topics such as prosthetics, physical therapy, and mental health. We also have plenty of time for open discussion, where you can ask questions, share your own insights, and get to know your fellow members.

Our group is open to all amputees, regardless of age, gender, or type of limb loss. We welcome individuals with congenital limb differences, amputations due to illness or injury, and those who have undergone elective amputations.
