Pinky Sleeve

About this project

A way to allow for cutting and writing with only one hand for Zion.

The challenge

Ectrodactyly is an absence of one or more digits on the hand. Zion only has pinkies on his hands, making it impossible to write and cut without using both hands.

Who it helps

Zion is an 11 year old boy who loves to play sports like rugby and basketball. Zion was born with ectrodactyly and has had a Symes bilateral amputation of his feet.
