Hi John,
Are you linked to the family somehow or just a caring
individual trying to help ?
I ask this as you should have seen the hit counter fly up on that auction
today...
I have a link to many hundreds of folks all willing to help, some from the
city.
Please get in touch privately...

Can I just say that the statement about "the best the NHS can do are hooks
for hands" is not quite true.

My daughter was born without a left hand and while it's true that the split
hook is offered, it's not the only itme in the inventory. The NHS can offer
a mechanical hand, a myoelectric "electronic" hand and a variety of
different fittings for various activities.

By choice, my daughter only wears a cosmetic hand for going out and an
attachment for typing.

The NHS should have referred the family to their nearest Disablement
Services Centre. They could also look at this website:

They helped us a lot in the early days when I was serving overseas in the
Army and we didn't have much contact with the NHS. The miulitary medical
services are just not geared up to looking after people (whatever age) with
long-term disabilities!

HTH
