The War Amps

Committed to Improving the Quality of Life for Canadian Amputees

Thanks to the public’s support of our Key Tag Service, The War Amps is making a difference in the lives of amputees by providing financial assistance for artificial limbs, peer support and information on all aspects of living with amputation.

Through the CHAMP Program, child amputees are encouraged to accept their amputations and develop a positive approach to challenges.

Through the Adult Amputee Program, we provide financial assistance towards the cost of artificial limbs, as well as expertise and resources on living with an amputation.

Your Support Makes a Difference

Your support ensures young amputees receive artificial limbs to help them build independence. The peer connections they form through the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program foster a positive mindset and are an invaluable source of emotional support for the whole family. You also provide all amputees with a strong organization that advocates for their needs.

“Michaela has everyday legs that she wears to school and for playing sports, as well as water legs to keep her safe on wet, slippery surfaces. Her artificial limbs are costly and need to be replaced often as she grows. Without War Amps donors, we wouldn’t be able to provide her with the limbs she needs for daily life. We would like to say thank you to everyone who donates to The War Amps, because without you, Michaela wouldn’t be able to live the life she does today.” Michael and Lyndsay, Champ Michaela’s parents
