“A 66-year-old man from Krakow, Lesser Poland voivodeship. In April 2022, his left leg was amputated at thigh level due to atherosclerosis and heart failure. He moves around on crutches and in a wheelchair. He is an electrician by profession, and has traveled extensively in Europe with his wife in the past. He enjoys walking, listening to music and reading. His biggest dream is to become independent in daily activities and achieve the best possible physical fitness. He will receive a subsidy from the Foundation for his amputation rehabilitation, which will help him improve his condition and become independent in his daily life."

“The 18-year-old from Henryszewo in the Mazovian voivodeship. Eleven years ago she was involved in a traffic accident, as a consequence of which her leg had to be amputated at thigh level. She is a student of the 4th grade of a technical school with a profile in photography. Before the accident, she was very fond of dancing and skating and rollerblading. After the amputation, unfortunately, she had to give up these passions and focused on photography, mainly of nature and animals. She also sees her future in this field. What's more, she also fulfills herself as a volunteer and participates in fund-raisers or events organized for sick children. Her biggest dream is to be able to rollerblade again, as well as to dance and become a dance floor queen, and her participation in an amputee rehabilitation stay will help her achieve this."

“The 30-year-old from Tupadły in Pomeranian voivodeship. He is a professional soldier. As a result of a traffic accident on his way home from duty, his left leg was amputated. He currently moves around the apartment without elbow crutches, but needs them, for example, when he goes somewhere further afield. He is mainly interested in motorization. He would like to become more physically fit so that he can walk on mountain trails again and go for walks with his dog or play sports. He also dreams of returning to the service and continuing to practice his profession. He is happy that he received a grant from the Foundation for a rehabilitation stay after his amputation, because this will bring him into contact with people in a similar health situation, and he will undergo rehabilitation aimed at people with motor disabilities."
