Insurance does not cover a prosthetic limb for Christopher Kiezek because
it was determined that medically it is not necessary to his life.
A Long Island boy, 6, who was born without part of his left arm, whispered
a wish into Santa Claus’ ear during a recent visit: he would like
prosthetic arm so he can finally play an Xbox One,_ MyFoxNY.com reports._ (<URL Redacted>
Insurance does not cover a prosthetic limb for Christopher Kiezek because
it was determined that medically it is not necessary to his life. But Robert
Jackson, a friend of the family, heard about the boy’s secret wish and
_started fundraising._ ( <URL Redacted>)
“I cried,” Jackson told the station, upon hearing the request. He hopes to
raise $25,000 by Christmas.
Kiezek, who just recently started to take up fishing, however, took back
his Christmas wish because he does not like the attention being paid to his
disability. His mom said he just wants to look like other boys his age.
