BOUNTIFUL, Utah (KUTV) — After weeks of fighting their health insurance's denial of coverage, the Bateman family from Utah has not only secured a prosthetic arm for their 9-year-old daughter Remi, but has also helped another child receive the same life-changing device.
Remi's mother, Jami Bateman, shared that after their insurance provider Select Health deemed the prosthetic "not medically necessary," the family launched a GoFundMe campaign. The response was overwhelming, with the fundraiser quickly exceeding its goal.
"The GoFundMe got reposted. We exceeded well over the goal," Jami said. "I was contacted by the CEO of CrowdHealth. They decided to pick up the bill and paid for Remi's arm in full. It's just been amazing."
Because the CEO offered to pay for Remi's arm, the Batemans used the funds raised to pay for a boy in Maryland's prosthetic arm.
The viral story didn't just help Remi — her family's campaign also caught the attention of another family with an 8-year-old boy named Taj from Maryland, who will now receive the same "Hero Arm" prosthetic.
"I wasn't able to do this for Taj for Christmas," Taj's mother said, "but thought 'maybe next summer, we'll be able to get [the arm]'."
Jami Bateman hopes their story brings joy to both families.
I’m re-watching Captain America Civil War and- They told Bucky to kill Tony’s parents without witnesses and he manages to find the probably only forest in the world with a random security camera by the road-side and kills them exactly in front of that security camera while looking right at said security camera when he disables it and also fails to make sure that the tape inside is destroyed how can you screw up so bad?

Tiny Winter Soldier reports that she has found her people.
i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)
So true.
I love to struggle some days. As hard as I possibly can. I want to be able to feel the ropes bite into my skin and know I'll be wearing the rope marks later as a reminder. To throw myself against them in a frenzy until I'm panting and slick with sweat. To be able to then look up at my Master and see him smiling above me as he watches me fight until I've tired myself out. To know, without a doubt, that I am completely helpless bound as I am by him. That I can do nothing but just submit to whatever he wishes to do to me.
At that point the ropes don't feel like restraints any more, but my Master's arms securely around me. Holding me tightly and surrounding me.

I like to struggle, but I hate getting free. I want to pull at the ropes tight against my skin, but they should never, ever get loose & if they do… well, Daddy would be there to tighten them up for me, of course.
