Homeless amputee looking for a new arm (205/750)

Not sure if I want to keep spamming this community as there are other people who are in much greater need than me so this will be my last post. I'll be taking out a loan to cover the rest.

I've been trying to raise funds for a new prosthetic arm to assist me. This would massively improve my quality of life as you never really know the things you casually use two arms for until you're missing one.

Any amount at all is well appreciated and thank you to those who have already donated.

This may sound odd, but have you asked thr 3D printing community? We love to tinker and make things. If you gave us your measurements, specs, type of prosthetic, functionality requirements, etc, I'm sure someone or a group of someones will get on that.
- I'm not sure if anyone is profiencient enough to make this arm on a hobbyist sub. These aren't easy to make. And even if someone can, there's no guarantee that they will do that for free. And I would still need to find someone to install the arm for me so it's not a bad idea but idk how viable it would be
