Baseball device
A five-year-old Selkirk boy is benefitting from the War Amps Key Tag Service program.
Casey Schumacher was born a left hand amputee, and as a member of The War Amps Child Amputee Program is eligible for assistance for artificial limbs and adaptive devices, and peer support.
In a press release from War Amps, Casey’s mom, Susan, explained that he has been fitted for a device that allows him to grip a baseball bat and swing much harder than without it.
Part of the funding for this device came from the Key Tag program. The tags are being mailed to Selkirk and the surrounding area this week.
Since 1946 the program has helped return more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys to their owners.
