Prosthetics Ministry, Bubble Wrap Teen to Provide Legs for Ghana

A one-of-a-kind Christian prosthetics ministry, joined by the 15-year-old Bubble Wrap contest winner, will set off to Ghana this week on a mission to change lives – one leg at a time.

Standing with Hope, the world’s only evangelical prosthetics ministry, is preparing to introduce Grayson Rosenberger’s $11 Bubble Wrap cosmetic covering for prosthetic legs this week to the West African nation.

The eighth grader beat out some 800 contestant in a national contest sponsored by Sealed Air Corporation to invent a new use for Bubble Wrap. Grayson wrapped Bubble Wrap around the pylon of an artificial leg using packing tape and a heat gun to simulate muscle tissue and shape. He then pulled a flesh-colored hose over the limb to create an inexpensive cosmetic covering for prostheses to help amputee better blend into their society.
