New HANDS for ROMEO

I just wanted to take a moment to share and thank the WarAmps of Canada for all they have done and are doing for my brother. Read the message below I just received from them. They are just to amazing for words!! After losing both of his hands this gift is a blessing more than I can explain.

Thank you WarAmps for all you do for amputees!!

Hello Christina,

I am contacting you from The War Amps National Headquarters. I am sending this email to let you know about the impending “match” we have set up for Romeo. The purpose of this match is to introduce Romeo to another amputee with similar amputation levels, and give them an opportunity to spend time together and connect.

We spoke with Romeo yesterday to let him know the details, including the date and time, and he mentioned that it would be helpful if we sent these details to you as well.

We have been in touch with one of our members from Calgary, Kyle, who has agreed to fly to Ottawa to meet with your brother. This will give them the opportunity to meet and discuss any questions and concerns Romeo might have. We have arranged for Kyle to fly into Ottawa, and the match would take place on Wednesday November 2nd in the afternoon.

We encouraged Romeo to think of a place for them to meet, or think of a restaurant for them to go to in the meantime.

Kyle is very much looking forward to meeting with Romeo. We will be exchanging their contact information so they can connect in the coming days, prior to Kyle’s arrival.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. If possible, could you please confirm the receipt of this email?

Thank you,

Cindy

AMAZING NEWS! This is amazing gift from an amazing soul who has stepped up to offer my brother a bionic hand a second chance at life. Please check out his page, share and donate.

You are truly a Godsend and no words can ever thank you enough. I can't wait to make this happen!

Click here to support 3D Printer that gives a hand by Justin Brawley www.facebook.com/worldof3dprinting ‌The goal of this campaign is to provide people who can not afford the cost of todays prosthetics a hand they can use in everyday life. This differs from other campaigns because the goal is to provide them with a fully fuctional 3d printed robotic hackberry hand...

Romeo is still recovering from the surgery and will not have prosthetics for a few weeks, but as you can see from the pics... that isn't stopping him! He is back in the Kitchen doing what he loves! This Chef will make his comeback in no time! There is no stopping him. I love that he refuses to let his disability stop him from pursuing his dreams! Let's keep those donations coming so we can get this awesome dude his bionic hands! Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROMEO!
