War Amps address label mailing thanks donors for support
October 27, 2025 – The War Amps has started mailing 2025 address labels to households across the country as a tribute to the public for their support as it marks the 50th anniversary of the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.
Madison Stratas was born without part of her right leg, and her family joined the CHAMP Program when she was less than a month old. In a letter accompanying the address labels, she shares how CHAMP continues to make a positive impact in her life.
“One of the things I get to do as a Champ is attend CHAMP seminars with my family. At seminars, I meet lots of other kids like me and we talk about what it’s like to be an amputee,” Madison says.
“The War Amps also helps pay for the artificial legs I need to do the activities I love. I have a water leg that is made for wet surfaces like the shower, and I can wear it for trips to the splash pad with my family too,” she adds. “I also have
a sport leg that I wear to play soccer with my sister or practise jumping rope. Thank you to everyone who donates to The War Amps. I am proud to be a Champ, and because of you, I know I can do anything I set my mind to.”
Sent as a thank you to supporters of The War Amps Key Tag Service, address labels are not just for envelopes! They can also be used to identify items like books, or for filling out name and address information on forms.
The War Amps receives no government grants; its programs are made possible through the public’s support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, or to order address labels, visit waramps.ca or call 1 800 250‑3030.
