The War Amputations of Canada has a unique relationship with its donors.

These codes enable The War Amps Key Tag Service to return lost keys, which have been found and turned in through the mail, to their rightful owners. The Service returns about 35,000 sets of lost keys each year. (It has even returned larger, more unusual items such as suitcases and clothing!)

Continued support means that these pro- grams can grow and evolve as the needs change. As well as letters from its donors, the Association receives feedback from its members, in- cluding child amputees and their families. Recently, a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program sent in an essay he had prepared on The War Amps as part of a class assignment: "My aim is to share with you my feelings since my amputation.
