Patient develops cane to grab stuff

About the solution

The device, made from aluminum and stainless steel, can be adjusted for height and supports up to 250 lbs, being complemented with a grabbing paw that can pick up any object. The handle from is a brake bmx handle.

Being born with Holt-Oram, Donald had upper limbs and his right side of the body affected by the condition, and a smaller bone structure.

Donald had a lot of surgeries during his life. And in spite of his disabilities, he had his own business – auto/truck repair services.

In 2001, when the entrepreneur was in his shop, he was crushed by a pick up.

While recovering and facing new challenges, the doctors gave Donald a cane and a grabber. But he was struggling to manage both devices. And that’s how Grab-A-Cane was born.

“I only had a hand and a half”, the inventor explained. “I had to let go of the cane to get the grabber”. That is why he created a product that could do both jobs.

Donald’s brought can be bought on eBay for $59.95, but he wants to produce Grab-A-Cane in mass.

“People don’t realize the great joy in life is helping others”, he stated.
