Having a disability can make life so difficult, especially when you're a little kid who just wants to play and do all the other things that your classmates get to do.
That's why it's so wonderful when we see a child overcome their disability and get a shot at a better life. For 7-year-old Faith Lennox, being "different" was all she'd ever known. When Faith was only 9 months old, doctors determined her left hand needed to be amputated after she suffered from compartment syndrome, which cut off the blood flow to her arm and caused irreplaceable damage to her during birth.
Faith, who has two younger siblings, was forced to wear expensive and inefficient prosthetics for years. Then Faith's parents heard of e-NABLE, an amazing nonprofit group who builds prosthetics like the one in this heartwarming story, where a little boy got a new "Iron Man" arm thanks to help from actor Robert Downey Jr.
The group provided Faith with an incredible new 3D-printed mechanical hand that lets her do a lot more "normal" things, just like this sweet 3-year-old who loves his new prosthetic. Best of all, the new hand only cost the Lennox's $50…and she can easily make it bigger as she grows!
Before her new hand, Faith had a lot of trouble riding her bicycle, because having one hand kept her off-balance. As you can see from the big smile on her face in the following video, that's just one less thing this little girl has to worry about.
