Puspa's mobility means not only can she attend school, but socialize with her friends, and contribute to her community.   For all of our CoolKids, a prosthetic leg, orthotic brace, or appropriately fitted wheelchair, opens up a door of opportunity that otherwise would not exist.   ![Feb_6_Puspa_Two-1](https://thecommunity.altso.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Feb_6_Puspa_Two-1.jpg?width=1620&name=Feb_6_Puspa_Two-1.jpg)   #### A Dreamer For as long as we've known her, Puspa has had her eyes set on the future.    If you ask Puspa where she'll be in five years, she'll confidently say she'll have graduated University and will be working as an accountant.    ![2017 - Puspa](https://thecommunity.altso.org/hs-fs/hubfs/2017%20-%20Puspa.jpg?width=4896&name=2017%20-%20Puspa.jpg)   While Puspa's dreams have changed over the years -- from teacher to doctor to accountant -- her ambition, and confidence in the future has remained unwavering.     Puspa has the confidence -- and the ability -- to pursue her dreams because, thanks to the loyalty of our CoolKids Club, we've been there to support her every step of the way.   ![DSCF1491](https://thecommunity.altso.org/hs-fs/hubfs/DSCF1491.jpg?width=4896&name=DSCF1491.jpg)   When  she’s not studying or daydreaming about her future success, you can find Puspa, a talented musician with a soft spot for AC/DC, singing and playing guitar.    ![2021 - Puspa](https://thecommunity.altso.org/hs-fs/hubfs/2021%20-%20Puspa.jpg?width=5184&name=2021%20-%20Puspa.jpg)   As our CoolKids grow, they will come in on average twice a year for adjustments to their devices. Puspa has already come in once this year for a new prosthetic foot.   [![Donate](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6749729/58771177-068e-467c-b3ad-76724ea09cd2.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6749729/58771177-068e-467c-b3ad-76724ea09cd2) *Provide a CoolKid with a life-changing mobility treatment. Mobility improves self-esteem, provides access to education, future employment, and the chance to live self-sufficiently. One simple treatment will transform the life of a CoolKid and break the cycle of poverty they were born into.* ### ALTSO Staff [← Back to posts](https://thecommunity.altso.org) ### Recent Posts. ### Categories. - [Our Impact: CoolKid Stories (46)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/our-impact-coolkid-stories) - [Rocktoberfest (24)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/rocktoberfest) - [Press Releases (19)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/press-releases) - [Program Updates (19)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/program-updates) - [Meet ALTSO (11)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/meet-altso) - [NextGen Club (9)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/nextgen-club) - [ALTSO Ambassadors (6)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/altso-ambassadors) - [Fundraisers & Events (6)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/fundraisers-events) - [Partnerships (4)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/partnerships) - [ALTSO UK (1)](https://thecommunity.altso.org/tag/altso-uk) [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6749729/c00edccc-f8e9-4eca-9e2a-f833082df776.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6749729/c00edccc-f8e9-4eca-9e2a-f833082df776) [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6749729/18f7dbf7-96d9-4b3d-8765-15c37c83997a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6749729/18f7dbf7-96d9-4b3d-8765-15c37c83997a) A Leg To Stand On, Inc. is a US Based 501(C)3 EIN 02-0594709 & UK Based Charity 1118048 ©2026 - - - - [About us.](https://www.altso.org/aboutus) [Financials.](https://www.altso.org/financials) [Brand Partners.](https://www.altso.org/partner) [Videos.](https://vimeo.com/user8076691) [The Community Blog.](https://thecommunity.altso.org/) [Privacy.](https://www.altso.org/aboutus#privacypolicy) [Get our emails.](https://www.altso.org/getouremails) [Contact us.](https://www.altso.org/contactus) [Donate.](https://www.altso.org/donate) ## [View our Accreditations](https://www.altso.org/aboutus#accreditations) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "ALTSO Staff", "url" : "https://thecommunity.altso.org/author/altso-staff" }, "dateModified" : "2021-12-07T18:50:03.708Z", "datePublished" : "2021-03-24T14:29:09.000Z", "headline" : "CoolKid Puspa", "image" : [ "https://thecommunity.altso.org/hubfs/Feb_6_Puspa_One.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://thecommunity.altso.org/coolkid-puspa", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject" }, "name" : "A Leg To Stand On" } } ```
