Let’s walk with Mariluz

Donation protected

Mariluz Paulino (my mom) was diagnosed with polio at the age of 2. She spent most of her childhood in rehab learning how to walk.  In 2009, she slipped on black ice and shattered her knee and femur bone, and unfortunately never recovered. Mariluz has not walked since. She tried therapy for a while to regain strength in her legs but was unable to cover the cost of the leg braces that were needed and the crutches for support. I have decided to turn to my family, friends and community for financial support. Any amount helps and is greatly appreciated.  THANK YOU <3


Ayuda a mi mamá a caminar de nuevo. A Mariluz Paulino (mi mamá) le diagnosticaron polio a la edad de 2 años. Pasó la mayor parte de su infancia en rehabilitación aprendiendo a caminar. En 2009 resbaló sobre hielo negro y se rompió el fémur y, lamentablemente, nunca se recuperó. Mariluz no ha vuelto a caminar desde entonces. Intentó la terapia durante un tiempo para recuperar la fuerza en las piernas, pero no pudo cubrir el costo de los aparatos ortopédicos que se necesitaban y las muletas de apoyo. He decidido recurrir a mi familia, amigos y comunidad en busca de apoyo financiero.Cualquier cantidad ayuda y es muy apreciada. GRACIAS <3
