Belleville 3-year-old tries his new prosthetic after previous leg was stolen
But the very next day, Shriners was working on replacing the leg for Josiah, who has been a patient at the hospial for practically his entire life. The hospital says the replacment is a newer model with better technology than his previous leg.
A GoFundMe page was set up to pay for her son's custom wheelchair and has raised nearly $4,000, easily eclipsing the $3,000 goal.
The boys grandmother, Karen Stephens posted about the update on Facebook:
"Our family continues to be humbled by the generosity of strangers, friends and loved ones. We thank you from the depths of our hearts that you love us enough to care and be his hands and feet."
