Midlothian Teacher Gets New Prosthetic Legs with Help From Students, Community |
The action saved her life, but not her limbs. Campbell had to have both feet amputated as well as her fingers to her first knuckles.
"I just felt God saying to me, 'This isn't about you, Jennifer,'" Campbell said."I have held onto that to this day, knowing that there was a reason why my life was spared, and from that moment on I've been using this to help others." Campbell is a special education teacher in Midlothian. She said her physical challenges help her connect with students who face their own challenges.
"I literally can be in my classroom, teaching students, walking to get a pencil, and a prosthetic will fall off," Campbell said.Her original prosthetics are six years old. Campbell said she tried to get new ones, but kept getting denied by insurance. That's when the community stepped in with a GoFundMe fundraising campaign.Campbell said she wants to use the extra money to start a nonprofit that helps other amputees get prosthetics.
