I recently got a new job but the manager was concerned about my ability to perform on the job with just one arm. I'm not sure if he can ask that but it's a legitimate concern and having two functional arms would massively increase my quality of life anyways.

From research online it seems like a new arm could cost me upwards of 50k, maybe even more depending on the complexity of my case.

Aside from begging or literally waiting a decade to save up the necessary funds is there any way I can get part of my procedure subsidized or am I SOL? Thanks Toronto.

Maybe try contacting Victoria Hand Project? https://www.victoriahandproject.com/ or https://enablingthefuture.org/ There are a number of other 3D Printed prosthetics projects out there, but I'm not sure which ones are active.
