The resolution recognizes the significant impact of limb loss and limb difference, which affects over 5.7 million individuals in the United States, including more than 2.3 million with limb loss and 3.4 million with congenital limb differences. It highlights the leading causes of limb loss, such as diabetes and traumatic injuries, and emphasizes the importance of preventive measures and access to prosthetic care for those affected. The resolution also acknowledges the role of the Amputee Coalition in providing education and support for individuals with limb loss and their families.

In light of these considerations, the resolution proclaims April 2025 as "Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month" in Rhode Island. It encourages all residents to support individuals living with limb loss and limb difference, to educate themselves on related issues, and to express gratitude to caregivers and veterans who have experienced limb loss. The resolution also directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies to relevant organizations, reinforcing the commitment to raising awareness and support for this community.
