Thanks to your help, 12-year-old Ai-Dash received a bionic prosthesis. Now his left cyberhand has become an indispensable assistant in everyday life. Thanks for supporting the guy!

Ai-Dash lost his left arm in utero, and six months ago he lost his father. Now he is the only support for mom and the main assistant in a large family household. He has long been accustomed to being controlled by one right hand (although it is very difficult for him, as a lefty). He can vacuum, chop firewood, wash dishes. But with two hands, everything would be much easier and faster.

— Thank you to all the kind people who helped buy my son a prosthesis, — says Asiyana. — When he put it on, he lit up with happiness. He immediately showed me how the fingers flex and unbend. I started taking different items. He mastered the prosthesis as quickly as if he had been wearing it all his life.

And at school, Ai-Dash is now a real hero: everyone comes up to him and examines his robotic arm. And he proudly shows it off. The guy finally felt that he could do almost anything with a bionic prosthesis: assemble a construction kit and operate scissors. I used to sit around in labor lessons when classmates were cutting something out of paper. Now he takes a sheet of paper with his left hand and a pair of scissors with his right and performs the task along with everyone else.

Thank you for giving the guy self-confidence and a fulfilling life!

About the campaign

Ai-Dash has been missing an arm since birth and needs a modern prosthesis

Eleven-year-old Ai-Dash lost his left arm in utero. And six months ago, my father. Now he is the mainstay and mother's assistant in a large family household. A responsible and serious Ai-Dash dreams of a bionic prosthesis to handle any job.

From infancy, Ai-Dash, who was born one-armed, gradually adapted and learned to do a lot - wash dishes, vacuum, chop with an axe. To the children's unkind questions about where his hand was, he always answered defiantly: "The shark bit off!" And now the boy faces a new challenge: six months ago, there was no breadwinner father in the family, and Ai-Dash is eager to perform all his household duties. The family's household is large – in winter, the house is covered with large snows, it is necessary to clean the yard, heat the stove, and in summer – to plant, weed, harvest. And chickens, dogs, and more!

A regular traction prosthesis doesn't really suit him. Unfortunately, an expensive bionic is not allowed for a boy according to his individual rehabilitation program. But it is with him that he will be able to cope with a variety of tasks in his life.

Let's help Ai-Dash together!
