HELP GIVE A HAND FROM CARTER
Donation protected
**We are a chapter of Enabling the Future, a group of international volunteers that 3D print "helper" hands and arms for children born without (or who has lost) fingers or a hand(s). **
My son Carter was born without his forearm and hand.
He and I first got into making these devices because he asked me to "build him a hand" one day. I knew I couldn't give him a human hand but wanted to give him what I could. I came across the E-nable website and got to work making an arm for kiddo.
These devices are fairly inexpensive to make (ranging from $10-$50 plus shipping) and so far ive been able to make and deliver/ship these hands free of charge to the familes through donations and support from my employer.
I am reaching out for a little assistance to provide this service to others who may not have access to a printer or the time/know-how to make them. My son will be attending Camp No Limits, a camp for limb different families, in the early Fall. He got a scholarship for part of the family to go but it will not cover myself or my travel costs. I would love to attend with him and bring hands and arms for the children there to try and take home the same day. The camp is on the other side of the U.S. and I do not have any extra means to get there. I want to be very transparent when I say YOUR DONATION WILL GO TOWARDS MY PLANE TICKET TO GET TO AND FROM CAMP. *If I have any funds remaining, I will pay it forward.*
My hope is to be able to surprise Carter so that he and I can teach the other families about these hands and 3D printing technologies.
Your donation will not be used to pay my bills or buy new shoes. I promise you that is not why I'm here. This account is purely to help pay for the travel costs to get to camp so that Carter and I can spend time together and hopefully help several families take home a hand of their own from myself and my son.
-If you need a device, let us know!
-If you want to help give another child a device at camp, please donate.
-If you can't afford to give, please share so we can reach others who need or a hand or can donate to help give a hand or arm.
