A nine-year-old amputee who raised $30k for a prosthetic arm denied by her insurers is paying it forward - and giving the money to another deserving child.
Remington Bateman was born without a left hand and after outgrowing her conventional prosthetic, tried out a robotic 'Hero Arm'.
But she was left devastated when insurer Select Health deemed it 'not medically necessary', her family say.
She launched a GoFundMe - raising $25k in a matter of hours - but then company CrowdHealth stepped in to pay for her arm in full.
