On site providers (prosthetists, Rotary Clubs, volunteers and partnerships with other nonprofit organizations) remain the primary source of locating recipients and establishing a lasting presence and point of distribution. Life-changing stories and testimonials from recipients continue to come in at nearly an overwhelming rate. While our initial assessments of global need suggested approximately 100,000, we now know through data from the WHO, that about 9.0 million individuals from developing countries are missing an upper limb. In numerous instances, sometimes a single small community will need hundreds of hands to satisfy those individuals they are able to reach. The Ellen Meadows Prosthetic Hand Foundation continues to be run and managed by a small group of dedicated volunteers. 295594 true true false false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 3 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true false false false CA X X Michael Mendonca 9252004420 2600 Reynolds Ranch Pkwy Ste 140 14 Lodi CA 95240 X Michael Mendonca President & Sec 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lain Hensley Vice President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gene M Glaser Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 278997 278997 0 613 613 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 279610 613 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22050 22050 0 252 252 0 0 0 0 0 1975 1975 0 0 0 794 794 Prosthetic parts purchased 217722 217722 Shipping completed hands 49068 49068 Data Base 1599 1599 Miscellaneous Expenses 963 963 1171 1171 295594 295594 0 0 30147 26920 10408 2686 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 158440 158440 0 0 4336 4850 0 0 0 44891 34456 2304 7853 2304 7853 X 42587 26603 42587 26603 44891 34456 -15984 X false false false X 37560 503035 343047 346130 278997 1508769 0 0 37560 503035 343047 346130 278997 1508769 0 1508769 0 0 0 1508769 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 158440 158440 4850 CREDIT CARDS PAYABLE 7852 Rounding 1 7853 Lain HensleyOdyssey Teams Off/Director Prosthetic hands assembly false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information Lain Hensley is the COO of Odyssey Teams, Inc. and is more than a 5% owner of the company.
