Public pays for new prosthetic leg after 9-year-old loses his at beach during Galveston vacation

Just days after a boy lost his prosthetic leg in the Gulf of Mexico while on family vacation on Galveston, the community has raised enough money to help buy him a replacement. Jayce Swindall, 9, was visiting the beach town with his family from Waco, Texas earlier this week. Early Monday morning, they headed out for the sand. When Jayce saw the waves, he did what just about any other nine-year-old would do: he took off for the water. “I like swimming,” Jayce told KPRC 2′s Gage Goulding.
