At the age when other little girls dream of dresses, the first phone or the first bottle of perfume, Mădălina wants to run the most. The multiple ailments with which the little girl was born, have prevented her from seeing her dream come true until now. Together we can help Mădălina walk, with a donation
She is 10 years old and has a lot of dreams that she is sure she will fulfill when she is able to walk. But walking for the doll-faced girl is conditional on a series of complex operations, on both legs, which can be done at a private clinic in Turkey. Their cost: 20,000 euros.
The girl was born with four serious conditions
Mădălina was born with a bag of fluid at the base of the spine. Medically called myelomeningocele, this is the most serious form of spina bifida.
In addition, the little girl was also diagnosed with hydrocephalus, but also with neurological dislocation of the left hip and bilateral gennu flexum.
Moreover, immediately after the birth, the doctors informed the little girl's parents that their little girl would have health problems all her life and, above all, that she would never walk. No fewer than four operations and months spent in intensive care followed. Then years of therapy and physical therapy. However, Mădălina still cannot walk.
Hope comes from Turkey, but it comes at a price to match
But hope for a normal life came recently from a private clinic in Turkey. Here, Mădălina's family was presented with several operations on both legs, performed in the same surgical intervention, as medical solutions for the girl's problems: complex osteotomy on the right knee, arthrodesis of the middle joint on both legs and achilloplasty on both legs. But their price is colossal for Cornelia and Lucian, the child's mother and father: 20,000 euros.
"If I do this operation everything will change. I'm not going to stay in bed anymore, I'm going to have friends, I'm going to run, I'm going to do everything I haven't done before and I'm going to fix everything", Mădălina is convinced.
Together we can help Mădălina take the first steps towards healing,❤️🩹 Thank you🙏🏻
