Create Prosthetics with 3D Printer
Donation protected
The purpose of my request is not for me, but for others. I wish to create prosthetic hands for children and adults, and would like to also create prosthetic legs as well. It is estimated that 3,000,000 people are without an Arm or hand. I have already been accepted to provide a prosthetic with E-nabling, which provides hand and arm prosthetics for children around the world through a group of volunteers. I am a disabled Veteran wanting to pay it forward as I have been taken care of by my Country. I have a degree in 3D Animation and I am a 3D Artist and Designer. Working with E-nabling I want to improve on the many designs already being printed and continue to serve others around the world. It's my hope to obtain enough funds to purchase a 3D Printer capable of printing larger prosthetics such as legs, as well as hands in a more timely manner for those in need. My goal includes the cost of the material needed to create the prosthetics. This will cover the initial costs and I will be able to continue funding after that. The eNable project helps to create a affordable prosthetic at no cost to the recipient. Thank You for considering a donation to help fund my Dream to fulfill the Dreams of others.
