Tom Sheehan – 2022 A Leg Forever Recipient
When JP & Paul lost their right legs in 2013, supporters from the Dockside restaurant in Wakefield, Massachusetts jumped into action with fundraisers. Nine years later, those connections helped bring support to Tom Sheehan, an amputee who had lived in pain for many years and needed help with a new prosthetic leg.
It is with your donations and support that A Leg Forever is able to help amputees like Tom. Your donation gives hope for a better future.
