Operation Dez Strong

ODS is a Child Service Organization dedicated to providing financial and emotional resources to children who have undergone, or are undergoing, amputation and are in need of assistance in acquiring and adapting to prosthetic devices. We are a community of veterans, medical professionals, amputees, caregivers, and others from so many different backgrounds, all coming together for a shared goal: to encourage newly limb-different young people to stay strong, even if it means they need a little help to do so.
