Right below-knee amputee. Left transmetatarsal amputee (all of my toes were removed).

I created CUAFS (Coming Up A Foot Short) while lying in a hospital bed at 2 a.m., feeling alone and just wanting someone to understand what I was going through.

The mission of CUAFS is simple:

I don't want anyone lying in a hospital bed at 2 a.m., facing who knows what, and feeling all alone.

On our Facebook page, we post a Daily Drop every day, with each post centered around one of our seven pillars: Hope, Motivation, Encouragement, Empowerment, Real Life, Humor, and Inspiration.

If you ever find yourself feeling alone or like nobody understands what you're going through, there's someone who does.

You are not alone. 💚🧡
