Today I woke up not entirely sure how to name what I feel – it’s this ever morphing combination of despair, sadness, hope, pride, tenacity, and gratitude – a flood of contradicting sentiments leaving me with little faith that I have responded appropriately, or will, to the outpouring of supportive texts and emails from colleagues, friends, and family in response to the message linked below. I am heartbroken for our team – both those who were laid off or furloughed yesterday and those who remain with us to continue the Amputee Coalition<\/a>‘s work serving the limb loss and limb difference community in these uncertain times.
Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve had the privilege and the honor to be part of building something special, a dynamic team making an impact through our work every single day. Together we ushered the organization over a metaphoric threshold into a new era of action and productivity. It’s been fun and fulfilling.
Now, the rules have changed but are not yet redefined; it’s hard to play three moves ahead. So, I divert to my most useful disposition, that of ambition. And I’m as committed as ever to seeing it through, to delivering on the promises I made to so many when I joined this organization.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
