An NC State student-run organization, The Helping Hand Project, started a GoFundMe with a goal of $2,000. The funds would help them continue their mission of using 3-D printing to provide recreational prosthetic devices to those in need. “

 .

A general prosthetic might cost between $10,000-20,000, and a kid grows out of that in six months,” Helping Hand Project President Griffin Drye said. “Each device we print costs between $50-100 to actually produce,” Drye said.

Helping Hand Project NCSU chapter started in 2015 with about 15 people. The original organization was launched in 2014 at UNC Chapel Hill. To read more, click here .
