Just a few weeks ago, the influencer's mother made public in an emotional video on Instagram that her 19-year-old son had been in a serious accident.

The injuries were so serious that it was initially unclear whether his right arm could be saved. After a twelve-hour emergency operation, he was able to be reattached, but the hoped-for functionality apparently failed to materialize.

On Monday, the Viennese finally reported back from hospital himself via Instagram - without his right arm.

Despite the stroke of fate, he expresses his gratitude for his "second life" in the post and looks to the future with confidence.

However, the 19-year-old does not comment on the exact circumstances of the incident.

Justin is slowly fighting his way back into everyday life. He is asking his followers for support so that he can afford a high-quality prosthesis that will enable him to lead a self-determined life in the long term - perhaps even drive a car.

The GoFundMe page set up for him states that the money raised will help Justin to secure basic medical care, including prostheses.

The sympathy for the young Viennese is great: after two days, almost 30,000 euros have already been collected.
