In July 2010, recent high school graduate Tim Delano's life plans changed drastically when he and some of his friends decided to go for a swim in an Estates canal in Naples Florida. He was attacked by a 10-foot alligator. He survived by punching and pulling himself away from the gator, but he lost his left hand in the process.
As time passed, Tim was unable to find a job, began withdrawing from society, and falling into a depressed state of mind. Tim's mother, Debbie, contacted Miracle Limbs-Courage in Motion desperate to find help for Tim.
Bob visited Tim several times, while he was living with his parents. Arrangements were made with a local prosthetic company to have Tim fitted with a prosthetic arm. After finding out that Tim wanted to become a marine mechanic, Miracle Limbs-Courage in Motion worked with Lorenzo Walker Technical School, towards a scholarship for Tim. Tim will be starting school soon and will have marine mechanic certification within 18 months. The prosthetist that Miracle Limbs set up for him is now designing a hand that can virtually take “snap-on” tools so that he can pursue his dream.
