Yechiel Veiner wants a lot of things. He wants to have a family. To have a home. Right now, most of all, Veiner wants to have his leg.
For those who have always had their limbs and have never faced the threat of amputation, a leg may be taken for granted. The ability to walk, to be independent, to go up and down stairs, and to be seen as an equal peer by other adults may be your reality. Yechiel, however, is living in another world: For years, he has suffered from an infection which has left him wheelchair-bound.
