Limbs of Love was founded in 2007 by a board of directors associated with the Amputee & Prosthetic Center of Houston.

Very few charitable organizations have such a significant impact upon the lives of others.
We are not only an amputee support group, we are an amputee social club! Our goal is to provide a positive environment and support to fellow amputees (with or without prosthetic devices) with fun activities! We work in conjunction with nursing, physical therapy and health care professionals to provide amputee support to anyone who would like to participate. Amputees in Action believes no one should have to suffer through amputation lone and uninformed.
