“Tell us if you could have ANY ARMS you want, what would your dream arms be?”
Finally a question that I was being asked that looked at what I wanted not what the world thought I needed and should have. From just this one
question I was excited. Open Bionics were about to change my life.
If you haven’t seen part one of my story you are probably wondering what happened to my hands when I was really young I fell ill with Meningococcal Septicaemia B. My hands were deteriorating fast and my parents were forced to make the hardest decision to amputate my hands.
One of the biggest challenges I faced after coming home from the hospital was learning how to adapt without hands, it was really difficult for my parents to watch me struggle. BUT they never gave up on encouraging to I would try and do things for myself like opening doors. I struggled a lot at first but when I realised that I could do it all by myself something inside me clicked and I knew I could become the independent person that I am today.
My mom was determined to get me new hands and threw herself into researching prosthetics. We decided to start with what we could get for free, it was quite an eye-opener for my mom and for me- my first prosthetic was given to us in a brown paper bag like it was something we should be discreet about. I remember sitting in the back of the car staring at the paper bag, thinking that if it was a ‘hand’, I wouldn’t use it all. I couldn't associate it as a hand and honestly, everything about it scared me.
One day, I couldn't take it anymore and sobbed to my mom asking: "Are these the only arms made for people like me?!"
At that moment my mom and I held each other and cried. I couldn't help but think how these prosthetics hands would not help those kids at all and that I needed to do something to change this. I was determined to find someone out there that could help.
After trying private clinics with no luck, we decided to we needed to find new options when my mom stumbled across an appeal that had been put out by a startup company called ‘Open Bionics’ - they were using the new technology 3D printing and was looking for a ‘below the elbow’ child amputee to help them with a project that they were involved in. Straight away my mom emailed them and explained my history and that we were desperate to help companies create a hand prosthetics for kids and that I would be an ideal candidate. Three weeks later we got an email back asking us to pop down to the clinic for a meeting.
D: “We are so glad you are here Tilly, why don’t you tell us exactly what you are looking for?”
Instantly I knew this company really cared about what I wanted as much as what I needed. I felt like I had control over the design.
I explained to Open Bionics that it was so important for the hands to help me with practical tasks. I would love to be able to brush my own hair. But not only that, they needed to make me feel cool and empowered wearing them. I wanted a hand that would embrace my differences and make me unique.
I remember telling everyone that one day I would love a whole wardrobe full of hands that I could mix and match up to my outfits as I thought they could be a cool fashion accessory. It could look so stylish!
I now travel the world in my own right not only as an Open Bionics ambassador but as Tilly. Sharing my story. This story! And trying to inspire others to do the same. I have met so many incredible people and been given so many wonderful opportunities. I never would I have thought I’d be able to stand on the blue carpet at the World Premiere of Alita Battle Angel alongside Rosa Salazar and being presented with the Alita’s Berserker Body bionic arms by James Cameron and Jon Landau. I am forever grateful for these opportunities and where they have gotten me today.
I want to keep working with different organisations to make the best hands possible and make them available for all amputees all around the world. I feel like my life has only just begun and that I have something to say. Embrace who you are. Everyone has differences and your differences are what makes you stand out. Love you and only be you. People are people and it is as simple as that! I am excited to carry on standing on the big stages, working with Open Bionics, sharing my story and hopefully take the stigma away from what people call a ‘Disability’ What people class as my disability is actually my ABILITY. So this is my story what’s yours?"

This story made me remember a little boy that live in the house across the coldisac from us. He was born with no legs but you couldn't stop him from running with his new legs if you tried! Lol! My puppies use to LOVE HIM! They would chase him, barely able to catch him. Me and his parents would laugh soooo hard watching them. He's in his late teens now doing big things...
Yay!good for him!
Shauna Brown yeah good for him
what a fighter!
😎
Shauna Brown I thought u said he’s a teen doing bad things now, and I was confused when the replies were like yay good job
As a young adult with disabilities, this story makes me feel so good about how this young woman wants to put an end to the stigma that surrounds having a disability. Even though my disabilities are different from hers (as I have spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy, ADHD, anxiety, and persistent depressive disorder, alongside being a brain injury survivor), I am determined to also help reshape society’s views of disabilities as the stigma has got to be eliminated.
It’s true that having disabilities can actually be abilities. I honestly hope that one day I could meet Tilly Lockey because she definitely proves that you can have a disability, but still be awesome and intelligent.
Oop
Sad
You been through a lot! You go girl!
She is living her life the best way she can and achieves things not just for herself but for many others who share the same fate.
I AGGRE WITH YOU 👍
She's really happy that she got new orange but I love it
I hope you are doing well and that you are you still
I am verry lucky to have a good friend with with a verry loving sister
Finally, a channel that posts "real life stories" that are actually real!!! This was really inspiring. Tilly, if you're seeing this, you go girl!!

When you learn to accept ur challenges and disabilities, then its a step to living the best life
Everyone is unique in their own ways❤🦋
This story makes me think of when my dad lost his finger.

Tilly is so strong, she is really lucky, she is an human hero.
Ploof Poof she is lucky that she survived
Ploof Poof I know, but when she was young she was for dying I’d rather to not have hands then die
I’m So glad that she survived her surgery and got to live her dream :)
I'm so thrilled to see a part 2 to this story and to see how Tilly triumphs in life. You go, girl!
Getting new hands after you lost your old ones is awesome!
I like the Ironman reference!
Tilly is such a strong girl and she’s so awesome! I can’t believe how far she’s come I’m so proud of her! 💜💜💕💕💕
You are very strong. Not all people have the strength to convert their disabilities into their strenghts like you. I love and pray that your wish of having a wadrobe full of hands soon become true. Lots of love from India.
They came up with a better idea: Replacable arm covers. She can switch out her covers from the Alita covers to white ones, to ones she could decorate herself.
Man this is best channel for real life stories
Yay! I love this! I’m so happy there’s a part 2. Part 1 was really upsetting
Title: My disability did not stop me from meeting the most famous people
Tilly is famous in her own right too now. She's a public speaker, RUclipsr and a TV presenter.

@@sunshinehardaway4386 thank u
I love hearing about Tilly's wonderful life story, it is just the kick that I need that I should not look at my own autism spectrum disorder as something that is bad or make me as well as others to feel sad about, but to use it as advantage as well as to be unique. Thank you Tilly! =^-^=
Wow that is so cool!
Tilly, you are independent and strong, we believe in you!❤️
I feel bad for you but I’m glad your happy again😌
Watt amazing story she has inspired me ♥️
AMAZING STORY

Just because you have no hands doesn’t mean your useless no ones is ever useless you always a human
You go girl!!
Tilly is so brave
If she's happy.. I'M HAPPY TOO!!! SHE made really BIG things!!
You are good at art
I almost cried during part 1
Tilly... it's a great story of life... a great example for people who take every thing they have for granted... I think I am lucky.... but this.... this story might change people forever... please understand that you can't be like some others... be kind, be understandable and most importantly.... don't be a bully. For now... you won't be the person who you want to be if you don't try so understanding would help a lot for people like Tilly who can't go back... who can do a lot and not take for granted because once you lose a part... only then you understand how much it matters... how much life matter.
I really like your story ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yay part 2 is out
I was starting to cry in the first one
I love it
Omg i hope u get better tilly
You are so cool I love your story
Minutevideos is truly the best, they tell real stories and I learn something about it. How can someone work with the program as freelancers? Anyway, I know for sure Minutevideos is really cool with everything.
