CNN Hero Helps Her Fellow Amputees Believe Again
Mona Patel lost part of her leg due to a drunk driver over 30 years ago, and now she's helping many like herself cope with life and finding hope within themselves.
"I flew up about 12 feet," Patel said. "And then he pinned me between his car and a metal railing, and that's what smashed my leg and my foot."
After searching for support groups she decided to start her own nonprofit organization, the San Antonio Amputee Foundation. The San Antonio Amputee foundation offers peer support, education and recreation opportunities, as well as financial assistance for basic home and car modifications and prosthetic limbs.
I posted two links below. One of her history and one of her great work and where she plans to go next.
