Bionic Arms Transform Christmas for Three Kids
The holiday season is all about spreading joy and making dreams come true, and for three children, this December has brought them the most incredible gift imaginable – bionic arms. Ettie Baker, Zoey Hampton-Pigeon, and Finn Jarvis, aged 8 and 11, were given life-changing bionic arms this week thanks to The Big Hero 3 campaign.
Making Dreams a Reality
The Big Hero 3 campaign, spearheaded by a mom named Sarah Lockey, aims to help families of children with missing limbs fundraise for bionic arms. These cutting-edge prosthetics not only provide physical support but also empower the children to live their lives to the fullest.
A Mother’s Heartwarming Reaction
Ettie Baker’s mother, Alyse, shared the profound impact this gift had on her daughter. Ettie’s initial reaction to the news of her new arm for Christmas was pure excitement and joy. As Ettie grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of her differences, making the bionic arm a life-changing tool that will allow her to do things she never thought possible.
Empowering Lives with Technology
The Hero Arm, designed for individuals with below-elbow limb differences, offers multi-grip functionality and empowering aesthetics. Manufactured in Britain and available in over 801 locations across the U.S., the Hero Arm is a custom lightweight and affordable myoelectric prosthesis. Organizations like The Open Bionics Foundation and The Worshipful Company of The Glovers have contributed over $50,000 towards providing these arms to children in need.
Changing Lives, One Arm at a Time
The families of Zoey Hampton-Pigeon and Finn Jarvis also expressed their gratitude for the life-changing opportunity. For Zoey, born with a limb difference, the bionic arm will enhance her independence and enable her to engage in activities she previously found challenging. Finn, described as a happy-go-lucky boy, is set to excel with his new Big Hero Arm, opening up endless possibilities for his future.
In a season of giving, these children have received a gift that goes beyond material possessions – a gift that will transform their lives and empower them to reach new heights. The spirit of generosity and innovation has truly made this Christmas one to remember for Ettie, Zoey, Finn, and their families.
