Meet Jessica Siconolfi-Pelkey, a 20 year old college student from Poughkeepsie, NY. Jessica was born with fibular hemimelia, the absence of the fibula in both of her legs.
She has suffered in pain her entire life because of her condition. With no other choice, she is left with this: the amputation of both of her legs. Her first surgery took place on September 7, 2006. Now that she has healed from the trauma, the doctor will amputate the other leg. This procedure will free Jessica from the chronic pain, but will pose another problem.
Jessica's lack of insurance coverage may prevent her from getting her second prosthetic.
Please take a moment to look at this site. We are asking out of the goodness within you to please donate to help Jessica walk again. Every dollar brings her closer to getting on two new feet.
