Ten years ago, Alberto lost his left arm in an explosion. Alberto was fitted for a prosthetic arm at the time, but he’s 24 now and the arm no longer fits.
Without a functional prosthetic arm, it’s hard for Alberto to work, study, or go about his daily life. This simple device makes an enormous impact on him, and a new one will allow him to do what he wants - uninhibited by the accident that changed his life a decade ago.
For $940, our medical partner, Wuqu’Kawoq, can provide Alberto with a new prosthetic. This new arm will feature an adjustable open socket which will enable Alberto to modify its fit as needed. Let’s help Alberto get a new arm!

Alberto received a new prosthetic to regain the use of his arm.
“Great, straightforward case” reported Dr. Peter Rohloff, one of Alberto’s doctors and the Medical Director at our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawok.
“Alberto had a prosthetic arm previously and he used it extensively. However, he outgrew it since it was fitted when he was going through puberty and he bulked up considerably afterwards. Suffice to say, he was up and running with the new prosthetic, given his prior experience, in literally seconds after the fitting.”
Dr. Rohloff also passed along Alberto’s gratitude saying: “Alberto is thankful to the Watsi donors who have backed up this effort, contributing to an enormously high impact intervention!”
