Prosthetic Leg for Homelessman

**Note - I'm sorry that I do not have a better photo of this man or his name** - I am hoping to raise money for a homeless man in South Philly, PA, at the intersection of Washington and S. Christopher Columbus streets. This man is outside rain or shine, hot or cold, asking for help from those who drive by; he is very resilient. I do not know the circumstances of how he lost his leg, nor do I know how far he lives, but for him to make the journey to that intersection on crutches cannot be easy. He is always nice and thankful for any amount of money given to him. He has praised God when receiving donations and wish me (and probably others) a happy Easter - I just mention this to illustrate his gratitude and thankfulness. It hurts to know he must make the journey to the intersection without two legs, even if he only needs to travel a few blocks.

Here is how the money will be used:

1. To take this man to Hanger Clinic: Prosthetics and Orthotics in South Philly and to get Hangar Clinic the requirements (like measurements, fitting, and whatever else they need)
2. To purchase the prosthetic leg for him
3. If there are remaining funds, it would be used to either:
    a. donate to local parishes in Philadelphia
    b. find someone else who needs help and use the remaining funding for them / use it to contribute to a goal to help them
    c. returned to those who donated here, if possible

Thank you and God bless you all!

Matt
