Modern Medical Supports from Los Angeles, California
|
Jr. Dixon Foundation of Los Angeles, California, is dedicated to helping provide prosthetic limbs and medical supports to children, veterans, and adults that have lost a limb. Our mission is to help people live a full life without having to struggle with proper care or needed equipment.

Prosthetic Limbs
Jr. Dixon Foundation provides prosthetic limbs to children and military veterans from around greater Los Angeles County. The foundation was started to help families and veterans afford a prosthetic limb.
Providing assessments and networking services, our staff works to connect those in need with the agencies that have the ability to provide. Whether working to raise money or directing children to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital for an assessment, we are truly here to help those needing a new prosthetic limb.
On average, a new prosthetic limb costs around $40,000. Our foundation strives to provide 30% of the costs, while helping connect clients with other agencies to further carry the costs. Additionally, we do our utmost to connect patients with the hospital best suited to provide proper training regarding the new limb, as well as the ongoing care and support. This is especially necessary for children, as they will continue to grow and need adjustments.

Donations & Support
As a nonprofit foundation, we are able to function out of the
generosity of community members, businesses, and other foundations. We
welcome support of all kinds, time and finances. You are welcome to
become involved with our annual fundraising events or to make direct
donations. All the money donated goes to help children and adults
acquire the prosthetic limbs that will forever change their lives. Join
us in our mission.
Health Fair
Every year, the foundation holds a health fair, generally in April.
It is one of our ways of providing for the community, giving health
screenings and health assessments to needy local residents.
Children's Toy Drive
August is the month the foundation collects and donates toys and
games to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital. The hospital plays a
pivotal role in our mission and with children in need of a prosthetic
limb.
