S.C. Man Selling Doughnuts to Buy Prosthetic Legs

A South Carolina man is raising the money to buy his prosthetic legs by selling a sweet treat.

Faced with a $120,000 cost to purchase prosthetic limbs and having been denied coverage by insurance, 20-year-old Joey Funderburk of Hickory Grove is selling doughnuts to raise the money, according to ABC News.

Funderburk, who was adopted at age 6 from a Romanian orphanage, was born with a birth defect that left him with only about a foot of leg. Until he was 18 years old, Greenville's Shriners Hospital had been able to sponsor his prosthetic limbs, which typically last anywhere from three to five years. But now an adult, and having grown taller, his legs just don't fit properly anymore.

So far he's raised about $7,500, the article said.
