When a child or adult finds out they will have to have a limb amputated; when traumatic amputation occurs; or when an individual has fallen victim to a shark attack, he/she and family are often left feeling overwhelmed and confused about what to do next and where to turn for help. Aside from physical challenges ahead, there are also emotional and mental challenges to overcome. The FOBH Encouragement Packet is a valuable tool for these individuals/families and helps make the first few weeks and months a little less daunting…
Friends of Bethany Hamilton
A non-profit organization supporting shark attack survivors and traumatic amputees.
FRIENDS OF BETHANY HAMILTON
Friends of Bethany is a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the hope and love of Jesus Christ worldwide by supporting and inspiring people through the life stories of Bethany Hamilton and others.
Our primary goals:
Support SHARK ATTACK SURVIVORS and AMPUTEES, worldwide; and present INSPIRING LIFE STORIES through movies, projects, and activities.
How we will achieve our goals:
- PRAYER! We will be praying for specific individuals (and their families) who have survived and are now experiencing life-altering circumstances.
- Connect with other organizations and companies that are relevant to amputees and people in recovery from trauma.
- Send an "Encouragement Packet" to recent or struggling amputees and shark attack survivors (while in the hospital, or as soon as possible), with helpful information and useful connections (such as information on prosthetic companies). Including a personal note for encouragement, along with Bethany Hamilton's book Soul Surfer and/or DVD Heart of a Soul Surfer for inspiration.
