Help Tosia get Life Changing Surgery
Donation protected
Tosia is a 4-year-old girl from Lethbridge, Canada. She was two days old when she suffered a stroke, which left her with cerebral palsy (CP) and epilepsy. As a result, her motor skills, like walking and sitting, were close to impossible. Until a few months ago no one was sure she would ever walk – although they held high hopes for a miracle. With the help and donations of many generous people, enough money was raised for a special surgery performed by Dr. T.S. Park out of St. Louis, MO, who pioneered a Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy procedure to make what seemed impossible … possible!
Tosia had the surgery and it was a success, but she needs to go back to St. Louis for a second surgery. That’s why we need your help.
Tosia is a sweet, smart child who loves to smile and play. She also likes to make her mom cry by doing all of the impressive things she can do now since the first operation.
Won’t you help us raise the $13,000 she needs for round two? No amount is too small and your generosity is appreciated. To learn more about Tosia’s journey, see the following link: http://www.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=291815&binId=1.810401&playlistPageNum=1
My name is James Blake Gallion. I myself have cerebral palsy. I don't know Tosia personally, but I have a special interest in helping her because I was fortunate to not require surgery to walk. I've struggled with this condition my whole life and it took me a long time to gain mobility. I had lots of help to get where I am and want to be part of the team who helps her. My favorite sport, Parkour, was one of the many stepping-stones I utilized to be healthier. I want the same for Tosia. Here is a short documentary that was done about me which will help you understand why I am so inspired to help Tosia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-e7jC6qwJc
Some of my awesome Parkour brothers and sisters got together recently to raise funds and awareness for Tosia, see the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__hRoMwXlhc
I hope one day to see Tosia be able do parkour and have a chance at a better life. I challenge you to be member of Team Tosia too!
