Everyday we work to give people hope and a chance for a better life.
It is with great sadness that LIMBS International informs you of the passing of our president: Oscar González. We have been devastated by his loss, but encouraged by his witness and the lives that he touched. His heart and genuine care were always examples to the rest of us, and we will strive to live up to his legacy. LIMBS thanks Oscar for his great service and the love which he showed the less fortunate.
Oscar joined LIMBS in 2014 to serve as Director of our Community-Based Rehabilitation Program, and in 2017, he became President. He is survived by his wife, Silvia, and daughter Eunice, a college student.

Despite our loss, we will honor Oscar’s passion for LIMBS by continuing our mission: transforming lives. To this end, the Board of Directors has appointed Lucas Galey as Interim Director. Lucas has a Master of Science, and is working on his PhD in Biomedical Engineering. He has been involved with LIMBS and worked on robotic prosthetics since 2014.
