My
About this project
My's team of Makers designed new technology similar to crutches or a walker that can rest under her forearms and support her to walk.
The challenge
Her burning dream, which is shared by her family, is to have a stretching device or tool to help her balance on her feet. Likewise, she will gain confidence and strength to lead a healthy normal life.
Who it helps
My is a 9 year-old with a constant smile on her face and carefully braided hair. Like other girls her age, she loves drawing and practicing her handwriting. Since birth, she has had difficulties moving her heels and left hand. Daily routines are daily challenges. From a young age, she had suffered tremendously from the pain of trying to fully extend her heels or hand. Since her first painful steps, My has been fighting strongly and persistently to overcome her disabilities.
