Rafael Ernesto Benitez Quijada is 13 years old, he lives in Margarita Venezuela, and he needs help to undergo surgery on both feet due to malformation of his bones that have been deforming him and causing alterations in his gait and instability with frequent falls.

Rafaelito's medical history dates to when he began to walk and presented symptoms of clubfoot. When he was six years old, had the first surgery on his legs to resolve this situation; but as he has grown, his ankles have begun to deform, causing severe scoliosis in his spine, in addition to the resulting problems walking and staying upright. After multiple therapies, without achieving improvement, he was taken again to a spinal traumatologist, who has determined that he requires new surgery; He also referred him to a neurosurgeon trying to determine the origin of his problem, concluding that he is congenital.

The neurosurgeon's recommendation is that Rafaelito, in addition to surgery, will require therapies at least until his bones finish growing, otherwise he could become disabled. At this time his parents do not have the money available to cover all the expenses that this surgery entails.

Any contribution will always be good for Rafaelito and we will always be grateful.
