Louis served with the parachute regiment, completing two tours of Iraq and Afghanistan. While on patrol in in Helmand he was injured by a grenade and his leg was badly damaged, later being amputated. After he was medically discharged SSAFA were there to help Louis retrain as an electrician as well as making sure his house was fully accessible to him.In 2015 SSAFA helped over 60,000 people like Louis - by raising funds for SSAFA I am helping them to be there for even more veterans, reservists, serving personnel and their families.
