LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A little boy in Hawaii who was born without fingers got his wish when he received an "Ironman" hand.

Rayden Kahae, 3, who is known as "Bubba" by family members, was born with Amniotic Band Syndrome. His hands ended up without some fingers, or little stumps instead of fingers.

His grandmother made a life-changing discovery several months ago when she found a company that built prosthetic hands made from 3D printers.

The non-profit group E-Nable, which operates off donations and volunteers, provided Bubba's "Ironman" hand for free.

Kahae will turn 4 in November. His grandmother says his hand will be re-fitted as he gets older.
