Our goal is to build a network and community for those with mobility impairments, facing amputation, or living with limb loss. We aim to Support, Challenge, and Cheer people through this ongoing difficult journey. We believe that this is best done together! So whether its support for yourself or you are looking to provide support for others, welcome to RISE! We are glad you are here!

What We Do

Monthly meet up & Discussion

Follow us on Facebook for an update on time, date, and location for these events. We try to keep things fresh and accommodate as many as possible, so these move around a bit.

make introductions

Chances are, someone has been through a similar experience. It can be helpful to talk to someone that gets it personally. We like to connect people with others so no one feels alone in this walk.

Connect you with resources

From financial needs to prosthetic questions to everyday life adjustments, we probably know someone with an answer. There aren't a lot of resources out there, so we're here to help.
