Help Paige get a Hero Pro
I’m crowdfunding for a bionic arm because it represents a significant step towards enhancing my life and independence. Born with one hand, I've always faced unique challenges that have shaped my experiences.
Going to college has been a challenge as I feel like I'm "the odd one out" with my disability however with the Hero Pro I would be able to turn that into a positive outlook and be the person with the cool bionic hand.
While I've learned to adapt and find creative solutions for everyday tasks, there are limitations that I still encounter. Simple actions like cooking, or participating in sports can be difficult, and I often feel the impact on my confidence and overall well-being.
When I participated in cricket I often found it difficult to be as good as my teammates because of my disability and I'm hoping with the arm it will give me the confidence to go back to the sport i enjoy. I am also a member of army cadets and there are challenges there such as firing weapons and certain tasks on field exercises which I hope will become easier for me.
A Hero Pro would be a transformative tool for me. With advanced technology, it would allow me to perform tasks more easily and effectively. The ability to control the arm through my own subtle muscle movements means I could engage in activities that I’ve always wanted to do but found challenging. I believe that if I have the arm it will enable me to participate more fully in life and enjoy activities with friends and family.
By crowdfunding, I hope to raise the necessary funds to make this dream a reality. I'm raising money through The Open Bionics Foundation, and any donation will help make an impact and go towards my Hero Pro. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to achieving my goal and transforming my life. Thank you for considering supporting my journey towards greater independence and empowerment.
