Crutches for Kids / The News-Enterprise Editorial

January 3, 2018

CRUTCHES FOR KIDS. Your broken leg or sprained ankle has healed and you’re hoping never to lay eyes on your crutches again. Don’t let them collect cobwebs in your garage or attic — donate them to Crutches for Kids.

Donating crutches will make you feel good, while at the same time providing items and equipment for the HMH Sports Medicine team to help athletes at six area high schools feel better.

In addition to crutches, supplies such as gently used ankle, knee or wrist braces; walking boots; and cold therapy units such as GameReady, Polarcare, Cryo-cuff or DeReRoyal brand products also are being accepted.

This program has been introducted by HMH Therapy and Sports Medicine and donations can be taken to their offices at 1111 Ring Road. Elizabethtown; 75 Nature Trail, Radcliff; and 100 Commerce Drive, Brandenburg. For information, call an HMH athletic trainer at 270-737-7529.

Wonderful caring people...go above and beyond what is needed of them and then they call me at home to make sure I'm doing okay. -Trisha R.

I can't say enough about the wonderful nurses and staff that you have. They made my recovery and experience so pleasant. I truly appreciate the kindness and professionalism of everyone involved in my care. I don't think that Hallmark makes a card that could express my gratitude and respect for the team that you have there. You truly have angels working for you and I can't thank them enough for all that they did for me. -Tee H.
