At the age of 25, David Puglia’s life drastically changed. It started when his health severely declined in 2001. After a number of medical consultations, David finally got an answer: He had accumulated spinal fluid in his neck. As a result, medical professionals were able to provide a solution. Unfortunately, that solution involved a highly invasive 12-hour surgical procedure. Not to mention the fact that it seemed likely the fluid was caused by a brain tumor.

Thankfully, David did not have a brain tumor after all. The fluid around his neck was also successfully drained. That said, David was met with a new issue: numbness in his fingers. This made usually simple, everyday tasks much more difficult — and, at times, impossible. This included buttoning up his own shirt, something he’s required to do frequently for his job.
“During a work trip, he had to ask a stranger for assistance with buttoning his shirt,” his brother, Michael, shares with InspireMore. “He felt very embarrassed.”
This experience inspired David to think outside of the box. If he was struggling like this, there was no way he was alone. So, for the sake of his own independence, and that of others, he got to work creating an alternative. Best of all, Michael helped turn his vision into a reality!
In the Face of Frustrating Struggles, These Brothers Join Together to Create Life-Changing Magnetic Buttons
This resulted in the creation of The Magnetic Button. It has changed David’s life for the better, but he’s not the only one who has benefited from their hard work. This product is available for others to order online, too! This has been life-changing, and both David and Michael hope to see these magnetic buttons continue to help folks from all around the world.
“To this day, David’s fingers are numb and needs the Magnetic Button every day for work,” Michael shares. “I hope that we can increase awareness and distribution of our product, making it more accessible to those who could benefit from it.”
