A great story in today’s Tennessean on a local couple who began a nonprofit called Standing With Hope, to provide artificial limbs for amputees in Africa:

The Rosenbergers recently returned home to Nashville from a 10-day trip to Ghana – Peter’s sixth trip to Africa. So far they’ve given legs to more than 200 people, with hopes of helping an additional 70 this year. They’re not exactly missionaries, but believe they are doing God’s work.

As an amputee, Gracie Rosenberger knows firsthand how an artificial limb can change someone’s life. She lost both legs as the result of a car accident when she was 17. She said she’d given up hope for a normal life before getting her artificial limbs.

“They gave me my life back,” she said. “I had no idea what I was capable of. I want to offer people the same hope that’s been offered to me.”

The Rosenbergers were featured in April on the Today show.
