Help Kristjan get a Hero Arm

 
Hello. My name is Kristjan and I am 26 years old and I have set up this crowdfunding page to help me fund a Hero Arm.
 
I lost part of my left arm in a suicide attempt in May 2021, which came about due to severe depression.
 
I went to the local railroad and tried to kill myself by placing my head and hands on the rail before a train arrived, but removed my head at the last moment for some reason.
 
Even though I lost my left arm, the accident could've been much worse.
 
I went to Tallinn English College and even though I was top of my class for a while and excelled in English and Maths, my first depressive episode hit me hard when I was in school and had to drop out before I could finish.
 
The Hero Arm would help me to live a more normal life and support me with doing simple everyday tasks like eating and getting dressed. I am especially looking forward to riding my bicycle more easily, as biking is a favourite sport of mine.
 
I also love to play football a lot and train my skills and besides that, I also enjoyed racing with go-karts in training, but this turned out to be too expensive of a hobby and I couldn’t do it as much as I’d have liked to, so I settled for racing video game simulators instead.
 
The Hero arm can definitely help with my hobbies. I also learned to build, modify and repair computers & laptops and manage their software. I did that for myself, my relatives and friends when needed and am still taking an active part in it every once in a while.
 
Doing my hobbies and the things that I love would help me cope with my mental heath so that is why it is important to me to get a Hero Arm. I feel like the Hero Arm would help me to feel proud and help me to become more confident in myself and my ability to cope with things.
 
I appreciate your help and thank all of you in advance with any support that you can offer.

I'm raising money through The Open Bionics Foundation for my Hero Arm and every donation will help me. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
