The 15,000 volunteers of the e-Nable association, created in the United States in 2013, manufacture assistive devices for the disabled using 3D printers.
One of the members of the group offered a prosthesis of this type to Lou-Ange, a 9-year-old girl living in Sedan (Ardennes) and suffering from a malformation in her right hand.
A Happy Birthday
The girl's older brother contacted the resident of Brieulles-sur-Bar (Ardennes), explaining to him the situation of his sister as she approached her tenth birthday, says

.
The child had only one finger on his right hand at birth.
“I will be able to tie my laces, grab glasses, do more things
,
” rejoiced the young girl after receiving the object.
This is the third hand in resin that the Ardennais has created using his 3D printer.
It has already equipped a 72-year-old man who suffered an accident at work and a little boy from Namur (Belgium).
Each prosthesis costs him €50 and requires around thirty hours of work.
