Help Zoe Walk, Play, and Grow Without Pain

Zoe just wants to run, play, and move without pain—this surgery can make that possible.

Our daughter, Zoe, is 8 years old and was born with a rare condition called Russell-Silver Syndrome, which has caused her left leg to be shorter than her right. Because of this, she has to use a lift on her shoes every day to help with the difference, and walking, running, and playing can be difficult and painful.

Despite it all, Zoe continues to show so much strength. She loves dancing, and has recently found joy in martial arts and swimming.

As her parents, it’s heartbreaking to watch her struggle. Her doctors said she had to wait until her bones were strong enough for surgery, and now that time has finally come.

Zoe’s surgery is scheduled for November and will be followed by months of recovery and physical therapy. This procedure will help correct the difference in her legs, reduce her pain, and improve her quality of life. Without it, her condition may worsen over time.

We are asking for help because the cost of surgery, hospital care, and therapy is more than our family can manage alone. Our goal is to raise $20,000 for Zoe’s medical care and recovery.

Every donation—no matter the size—brings us closer to giving Zoe a pain-free future. If you can’t donate, sharing her story means so much to us.

With gratitude,

Krystal and Chris
