Abstract
Working as a program evaluator of a human services program in Central America, the author was confronted with her conceptions of disability, resilience, and social support. She presents three stories of amputees, each with a unique story of survival. As the stories unfold in this reflective discourse, lessons of acceptance and even forgiveness emerge as central themes.
