00:00But yeah, because she's blind in one eye, you can see what the teddy surgeons have done
00:04to the glasses.
00:05How cool is that?
00:06We've got a couple of scars.
00:07There's one here and one here.
00:08I've got an internal shunt with wires and I've done it all the sound of it on the inside
00:09so you can feel it but you can't see it.
00:22Yeah.
00:23I'm Nick.
00:24I'm the founder of 3D Toy Shop where we are a non-profit where we make toys that don't
00:28exist so children can have a teddy like them.
00:31Now you'll go to a shop, you will try and buy a teddy bear but you will not be able
00:35to get a teddy bear that has got a brain implant because nobody makes them.
00:40Not like desperately out, I'm just making these up and I've just got to apply them.
00:52We're not desperately out?
00:53It's from the safari thing.
00:54Because that's from the safari thing and we haven't got a regular supply of them.
00:55So I don't want everyone to fall in love with this.
00:56From there and put a piece on there that's going to go in.
00:57In there.
00:58You could put this inside popping up.
00:59I really want everyone to have a teddy like them so I designed these toys.
01:14I 3D print them.
01:16I keep them in stock in all these shelves here.
01:18My teddy surgeons come twice a week.
01:21The surgeons fill out the form with the children's medical information and we match up the toys
01:25so that the child's teddy can be just like them.
01:28It will sort of look like that.
01:31Right.
01:32And there will be a hole in here.
01:33I've got the box.
01:34There's a few scars at the back from a tube being put in this internal stent.
01:45And scars at the bottom.
01:48There was a little girl.
01:49She was terrified of a heart surgery.
01:51So we sent her a teddy.
01:52And then she said, Mum, I can't wait to have my surgery so I can be like my teddy.
01:56So to change a child's perception from fear to excitement is just something you can't put a price on.
02:18And then there was a little one who didn't like a hearing aid so she kept pulling them out.
02:21Well she got a teddy and that behaviour has now stopped.
02:24They actually change lives.
02:35I just know it's the most important thing in the world and I want to help them all.
