Public pays for new prosthetic leg after 9-year-old loses his at beach during Galveston vacation
SUMMARY: Nine-year-old Jace Swindall lost his prosthetic leg while swimming in Galveston, Texas, after a rogue wave knocked it off. Despite the initial panic, Jace’s family and numerous beachgoers joined forces to search for the limb. Sadly, the leg was not recovered, but the community stepped up in a remarkable way. After posting about the incident on Facebook, generous donations poured in, and a GoFundMe campaign raised over $7,000 for a new prosthetic legโsurpassing their goal. Jace expressed his gratitude, highlighting the kindness of strangers and the extraordinary support from the Galveston community.
Just days after a boy lost his prosthetic leg in the Gulf of Mexico while on family vacation on Galveston, the community has raised enough money to help buy him a replacement.
Jayce Swindall, 9, was visiting the beach town with his family from Waco, Texas earlier this week.
Early Monday morning, they headed out for the sand. When Jayce saw the waves, he did what just about any other nine-year-old would do: he took off for the water.
โI like swimming,โ Jayce told KPRC 2โฒs Gage Goulding.
