What we do

Early Outreach

As someone born with a limb difference, I understand deeply how the language and perspective of parents and caregivers shape how a child grows into their identity. I’ve seen what helps—and what can unintentionally hurt—which is why I believe so strongly in the power of early outreach. 

At Grip, we offer in-person and virtual visits from myself or trained Grip Ambassadors to provide reassurance, perspective, and lived experience to families navigating those first days.

For new parents and caregivers of children born with limb difference or who have recently acquired a limb difference — our Grip Kits offer reassurance, connection, and a powerful first message: You’re not alone.

What’s inside our Grip Kits:

Personal Message from Grace Hong, founder of Grip
