Preferably, a finger hole and a gripped-object hole are formed in the disclosed self-reliance support tool, and said tool helps to grip an object as follows: the finger hole is stretched open and a thumb or pointer finger is inserted, and the gripped-object hole is stretched open and the object is inserted. The self-reliance support tool is provided with: a finger hole section in which the finger hole is formed, a gripped-object hole section in which the gripped-object hole is formed, and a connecting section which connects the finger hole section and the gripped-object hole section. The finger hole section, the gripped-object hole section, and the connecting section are parts that are subjected to outside forces, and thus comprise the abovementioned elastic material.
