One of the guys I work with has a little girl who was born without a hand.
One of the other guys I work with has a 3-D printer, which he has used to design and build a prosthetic hand for the little girl, with hinged fingers that flex and grip.
It also glows in the dark. Because she is 7 and glow-in-the-dark hands are cool.
Technology is amazing. And so is the love and generosity of friendship.
