The Best Christmas Gift: Three Children’s Lives Transformed with Bionic Arms

This December, three children—Ettie Baker (8), Zoey Hampton-Pigeon (8), and Finn Jarvis (11)—received a life-changing gift: bionic arms, thanks to The Big Hero 3 campaign. This initiative, led by Sarah Lockey, supports families in raising funds for advanced prosthetics through the Open Bionics Foundation.

Transformative Gifts for Little Heroes

Ettie Baker, thrilled with her new Hero Arm, said the prosthetic would allow her to ride a bike, tie her shoes, and even do handstands. Her mother, Alyse, shared how this opportunity has boosted Ettie's confidence, helping her embrace her unique differences.

Zoey Hampton-Pigeon’s family was ecstatic when she received her arm. Zoey, an active child passionate about gymnastics and trampolining, looks forward to tackling tasks like tying shoelaces and using a jump rope. Her father, Thomas, expressed gratitude, saying it will greatly enhance her independence.

For Finn Jarvis, the Hero Arm opens a world of possibilities. Described as fearless and sharp, Finn is now empowered to excel with his new prosthetic. His dad, Ben Jarvis, said, "The possibilities for him to excel are endless."

A Campaign That Changes Lives

The Big Hero 3 campaign, inspired by Sarah Lockey’s personal experience with her daughter’s limb difference, has raised over $50,000 through collaborative fundraising. Contributions from The Open Bionics Foundation, The Worshipful Company of The Glovers, Foresight Group, and an anonymous donor have made this life-changing gift possible.

The Hero Arm: Advanced and Affordable Prosthetics

Designed for below-elbow limb differences, the Hero Arm offers multi-grip functionality and lightweight design. It's regarded as the world’s most affordable, advanced prosthetic and is available for children aged 8 and above in over 800 U.S. locations.

A Brighter Future

These bionic arms symbolize more than functionality; they represent hope, independence, and empowerment. As the children embrace new opportunities, their stories inspire others to support life-enhancing initiatives like The Big Hero 3 campaign.
