A schoolboy has gotten a ‘robot arm’ which will allow him to open his Christmas presents by himself for the first time in years.
Tomek Ciechomski suffers from a rare genetic disorder, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which gradually causes his muscles to weaken meaning he needs around-the-clock support.
His mum Anna Ciechomska, a 51-year-old NHS worker, told the Glasgow Times: “It's fantastic and just absolutely wonderful to see Tomek using his new arm support. We previously reported how the St Aloysius pupil was diagnosed with his rare genetic disorder at two years old after his parents noticed him struggling with his mobility.
Anna had planned to save up for the arm themselves but were stunned after loved ones rallied around to help them raise around £23k in just ten days.The arm can be controlled by an app or buttons and will attach to Tomek’s wheelchair and arm giving him better mobility.
