College Students Change the Lives of Active Amputees

Ksby.com shares a story about Cal Poly students working together on a special project.

There’s nothing like selfless good deeds during the holiday season. A group of seniors at Cal Poly are going the extra mile to help amputees. The students work to give these amputees a chance to enjoy sports as they did before the injury. Through the non-profit organization, Quality of Life Plus, they create prosthetics that allow clients, usually wounded veterans, enjoy sports like golf, scuba diving and hockey. These prosthetics are customized to fit each amputee’s lifestyles and needs.

What’s selfless about this? The prosthetics are completely free. The members of Quality of Life Plus simply do this out of the goodness of their hearts. ’Tis the season!
