Please help Logan get a bionic hand

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to pay interest in Logan's story. I am raising funds, as Logan's father, to change my son's life and provide a greater sense of independence and increased confidence.

Logan was born with an upper limb difference, meaning he was born without a fully developed hand. This was a complete surprise to everyone as his limb difference was not identified through any prenatal scans. We later found out that the most probable condition is known as Symbrachydactyly, which is thought to impact 1 in 32,000 babies.

Despite this challenge, Logan has always faced life with determination and a positive attitude. He has grown to understand that his physical difference should not hold him back, but unfortunately, there are limitations. There are activities that he either cannot participate completely in or some at least to a limited capacity. Even everyday things that kids with two hands wouldn’t need to think about like zipping up a jacket, making a sandwich, pouring a drink, or even opening a door while carrying something requires additional thought and modification to how that action is carried out.

As he has gotten older, he has become more aware of his limb difference, and he tries to hide it. The emotional impact of being different from his friends and other children hits him harder now more than ever. As a result, his confidence in trying new things and meeting other children, that do not know about his limb difference, has been impacted.

That's why we have started this GoFundMe campaign, to help Logan raise the funds needed to purchase a state-of-the-art bionic hand which will enable him to be more independent and confident.

The Hero Arm is a highly advanced and customisable bionic arm designed by Open Bionics, based in Bristol, UK. Please have a look at the video below detailing the functionality of the Hero arm. It is very difficult to fully express the emotions we, as Logan's parents, feel to see him struggle with everyday tasks and the hope that a device like that Hero arm would bring as it would change Logan's life overnight.

Once again thank you for taking the time to learn a bit more about Logan and our ambitions to improve his life in a way that is beyond our wildest dreams. Any donations and sharing of this GoFundMe would be deeply appreciated by all of the family no matter how small as they will help Logan in his journey towards greater independence and boost his confidence.

Thank you
