I am writing to share with you the remarkable journey of my daughter, Natalia, who at the young age of 8 has faced more challenges than most of us can imagine. And ask for your help to change her life!
Natalia was born with a myriad of medical conditions, including spina bifida, hydrocephalus, and neurogenic bowel and bladder issues, among others. Since her birth, she has undergone an astonishing nine surgeries, each one a testament to her strength and resilience.
Despite the odds stacked against her, Natalia has defied expectations at every turn. At the age of 5, after moving to this wonderful community, she took her first steps without the assistance of her walker, a milestone that left us and her doctors in awe. Her determination knows no bounds, and her spirit shines bright even in the face of adversity.
However, Natalia's journey is far from over. We have recently been referred to a therapist who specializes in spinal stimulation, a treatment that could potentially grant Natalia the ability to control her bowels and bladder independently. This breakthrough could be life-changing for her, offering her a level of freedom and independence she has never known.
Unfortunately, insurance does not cover the cost of this therapy, and the associated travel and medical expenses are substantial. Additionally, we dream of providing Natalia her own fully trained service animal.
As Natalia's parent, I am determined to give her every opportunity to thrive and succeed. I would move mountains if I could, but the reality is that I cannot do this alone. That's why I am reaching out to you, our community, for support.
Your generosity can make a world of difference in Natalia's life. Your donation, no matter the size, will help cover the cost of her therapy, medical expenses, and perhaps even that special bike that will allow her to experience the simple joys of childhood.
Together, we can help Natalia continue to defy the odds and reach for her dreams. Your kindness and support mean more than words can express, and we are forever grateful for your consideration.
Thank you for taking the time to read Natalia's story. If you would like to contribute or learn more about how you can help, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly.
