Support Sophia's Journey to Facial Reconstruction
Donation protected
Please help me raise money to help support Sophia through facial reconstruction surgery.
Sophia was diagnosed at the age of 8 with a very rare facial nerve tumor. The tumor was aggressively attacking the nerves in the surrounding area and had to be removed. Unfortunately, that created its own set of problems that Sophia has been dealing with ever since. She has now undergone over 20 surgeries to try and fix the damage to her eye and surrounding nerves in her face.
We are hoping this will be the last one.
Imagine waking up every day to face a mirror that reflects not only the physical scars but also the emotional battles you've fought. This is the reality for Sophia, a vibrant and joyful woman. You would never know her struggles talking with her. She has faced these surgeries and diagnosis with remarkable courage and positivity. She has never lost her spirit and continues to spread love and joy to those around her. She helps clients every day look and feel their best with her talent as a hair stylist. Sophia has worked full-time while having a tissue expander on her scalp for several months now. She is an inspiration to all of us. Her confidence in her craft and joy in helping others look and feel better is contagious.
Now, Sophia has a chance to undergo advanced facial reconstruction surgery that will not just restore her appearance, but her confidence and quality of life. This surgery is not merely cosmetic; it is a crucial step towards helping Sophia regain her sense of normalcy and dignity.
During Sophia's time of healing, I don't want her to be stressed about bills and providing for her son, Avery. Your donation, no matter how small, can have a profound impact on Sophia's journey to recovery. Please join us in supporting Sophia through this challenging time.
Thank you for your kindness and support.
