December 2021
To our LN4 Ambassadors, Friends & Partners,
We hope you and your family are in good spirits and health. Despite the ongoing pandemic, we wish you renewed hope and joy as you embrace the year ahead!
Never give up because great things take time...The Ellen Meadows Prosthetic Hand Foundation (EMPHF) believes this saying wholeheartedly as the path to achieving our organizational goals. And goals we have! We want to eventually distribute one million hands to people in need, but to do that, we have to stay focused and continue to distribute/fit LN4 hands. And we need YOUR HELP to reach these milestones!
LN4 asks you to donate today in order to keep sending hands to those who would otherwise be unable to pay. Donating has never been so easy - just click hereand give a year-end gift of any amount. What is a one & done click for you, changes someone else's life forever.
Some LN4 2021 Highlights:
This year, LN4 Ambassadors were able to distribute and fit 6,664 prosthetic LN4 hands upon people in need in 2021!
Amazingly, this is a 44% increase from 2020’s distribution efforts and a 33% increase from the pre-pandemic distribution efforts of 2019! We are so blessed by our many Ambassadors and Ambassador Organizations who have made these hand fittings possible.
Our LN4 Ambassador Portal continues to be a hub for new volunteers. We welcomed 21 new Ambassador Organizations as partners, as well as countless individual volunteers this year! The portal allows our volunteers to request hands online, connect with others in their area, and find valuable resources on how to best serve a hand recipient. You can be an Ambassador too!
While we are so encouraged that we were able to still distribute so many hands this past year, we unfortunately received far less financial support compared to 2020. In these challenging times, we need your support more now than ever.
Make a difference today! If you have recently donated, thank you for your support! Your donation—no matter the amount—allows us to distribute prosthetic hands for people today and in the future.
We thank you for your generosity and wish you a joyful holiday season!
