Bionic arm- A Bright Future
Donation protected
We ask if you can help provide some relief for my 18yrs old nephew with a strong and compassionate heart. He recently finished 6 months of Chemotherapy, in an attempt to reduce the size of a Osteo-sarcoma tumour in his left wrist. The tumour is a size of a golf ball.
The surgeon gave him 2 options: To amputate from his forearm down and save his life
OR partially remove the cancerous tumour (which cannot be removed completely), maintain with ongoing chemo, and be left with a defective hand.
Kyle has chosen wisely, with many opinions from specialists- To save his life and amputate.
THIS GOFUNDME funding will help him in many ways:
-Surgical & Ongoing rehabilitation care and mental support care
-Bionic arm funding for a company which will produce a free Bionic arm for Kyle; and for many children all around the world.
(please visit the website to learn more about his wonderful compassionate work: https://free3dhands.org/ )
The reason we are funding Free3DHands:
I have looked at various prosthetics, and a bionic model, which is fully operational to allow him to do the things we take granted for, costs about $15000-30000. Devices will need maintenance, repair and even a replacement in the long run.
Then I came across Mat Bowtell on the news about making them for free... To know such people exist in our world, still brings me tears of joy. Regardless of whether my nephew could get one made by him, I knew I wanted to support their cause. However since getting in touch with the company, we received a thumbs up that he will be receiving one!!! Hence, we would like to share our merit and support others like Kyle.
