Kenzie's Helping Hands

I got the opportunity to be interviewed with 44 News' JoJo Gentry! During the interview, she gave me a very generous $600 donation from the famous Mr. G! Check it out here: Mount Vernon Soccer Star Kenzie Paul Continues to Lend a Hand

Coming home from a Lucky Fin Weekend, I met up with Nolan in Anderson, Indiana. Nolan is a super cool kid who raises money with an annual 3v3 soccer tournament in Connersville, Indiana for  Limbitless Solutions . This organization is located at University of Central Florida and partnered with  e-NABLE . He saw my  interview with 44 News  awhile back whereupon he decided to get in touch with me. When I finally met him on Sunday he surprised me with a tournament T-shirt AND a check for my e-NABLE endeavors with the money he raised from the “Speed Kick” event he held at his tournament! I’m so thankful for Nolan’s generous support! Please check him out  here .

Super stoked! Got approved to fit and print the Phoenix V2 device for clients!

Today, JoJo Gentry from 44 News wrote a followup article on the progress Kenzie’s Helping Hands has made. Once again, I’m thrilled at the opportunity of addressing a larger scale audience on the matters of the limb different community. My ultimate goal is to be an influencer towards the ubiquitous issues that plague our community. Examples of such concerns are how the world views the term “disability” and the connotations it possesses that impinge our image, the lack of awareness surrounding the condition of limb loss itself, the deprivation of information given to new parents of limb different children at hospitals, the insufficiency of disability representation in the entertainment and fashion industries, and the inaccessibility of technologically advanced, cost effective prosthetics. That’s my dream, but anyway, here’s the link:  Mount Vernon Soccer Star Gets Approval to Make Hands for Limb Different People

I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to spread limb difference awareness on such a grand platform! JoJo Gentry from 44 News interviewed me about my completion of the e-NABLE Phoenix V2 3D printed hand after viewing my initial Tweet regarding the device. The interview really put in perspective for me just how many people can be reached through the media and how the number of views impacted my continued campaign for limb difference awareness. Every effort made directly promotes the familiarization of our condition. Here’s the link to the interview:  Mt. Vernon Soccer Star with Limb Difference Builds 3D Hand I received so many notes following the interview’s airing, and I’m so grateful for all of the support!
