His mother, Donna, 49, researched potential solutions and found the OpenBionics company that produces prosthetics and thought they could make a high-tech arm for him, reports Mirror.
Due to the amount being R179 000 (£10,000), Donna decided to try and raise the money by herself. Thanks to a generous anonymous donation, Billy was able to receive a high-tech bionic arm. Not only can Billy respond to movements and utilise his arm to the full extent, but he now has the same functions as a normal arm.
