From Heartache to Hope:
A Journey of Empowering Amputees through Fashionable Adaptive Wear.
Our Story
SMART (Sali Mata Amputee Reach Team) was born out of a heartfelt desire to make a difference in the lives of amputees. It all started when Sali Mata, a compassionate woman with a genuine concern for humanity, witnessed her son's struggles with mental illness and homelessness in the United States. Tragically, he had to undergo amputation due to advanced gangrene; his undocumented status and lack of medical insurance led to his discharge from the hospital without guidance on obtaining a prosthesis and going straight to a homeless shelter.
Determined to help her brother, Assita Calhoun embarked on a tireless mission to find resources and acquire a prosthetic for him. Witnessing the profound heartbreak of a loved one enduring the loss of a limb, coupled with the added struggles in everyday activities, Assita realized the urgent need to alleviate the challenges faced by amputees. It was during these difficult times that the idea of SMART (Sali Mata Amputee Reach Team) was born—a dedicated endeavor aimed at creating fashionable adaptive wear, accessible and affordable for amputees, their families, and friends.
Bringing Dignity and Independence to Amputees
At SMART, we are driven by a simple yet powerful belief: everyone deserves a second chance to live a life of dignity and independence. We strive to make that a reality for the disabled community by providing innovative solutions and unwavering support.
Our commitment to making a lasting impact sets Sali Mata Amputee Reach Team apart.

Our journey is fueled by compassion, empathy, and the unwavering desire to make a difference. Let's empower amputees, restore their mobility, and reshape their lives together. Join us as we walk hand in hand towards a future where no amputee is left behind.
our Mission
Our mission is clear: to offer amputees affordable, stylish, and high-quality adaptive wear that honors and uplifts them, fostering a sense of dignity & Vision.
OUR Vision
Our vision extends beyond our products. We aim to utilize the funds generated from donations and sales to assist the disabled in underserved communities, ensuring they receive the support they need. Additionally, a portion of these funds will be dedicated to providing gym memberships for amputees, empowering them to rebuild their physical strength and regain their confidence.
