After making bionic arm, UCF students flooded with requests for help
They were strangers, desperate for hope in far-flung places, as they wrote about surviving mutilation or dealing with birth defects.
The stories of pain and heartache flooded the college students' emails.
It was an overwhelming response for the group from the University of Central Florida that created an arm from a 3-D printer for a little boy born without a real one.
More than 100 emails and phone calls seeking help filtered in from across the world from Pakistan to Brazil after the UCF students' work appeared on NBC's "Today" show, BBC World News and the Orlando Sentinel in July.
