Sofie's Medical Needs

Sofie Stoufflet is a vibrant 18-year-old young woman born with Hypochondroplasia, a type of dwarfism. Sofie has had several significant surgeries throughout her life, including Double Distal Tibia Osteotomes, where both bones in both ankles were broken simultaneously and Spinal Decompression surgery due to her inability to walk. She also has had Lefort 1 Osteotomy, upper jaw surgery due to an open bite. In addition to her major surgeries, Sofie has undergone several minor surgeries.

Sofie is a high school senior with plans for her immediate and long-term future. Her immediate female-related medical issues result from long-term medical steroid use regarding her hypochondroplasia. She has several more medical problems that need to be resolved before beginning the next chapter of her life. Sadly, not all of these will be covered by insurance. Years of medical bills have become overwhelming. Any additional help will be greatly appreciated. #sofiestrong #lovealittle #dwarfismawareness #tinybutmighty #celebratedifferences #hypochondroplasia #changetheworld #morealikethandifferent #have courage #gofundme #medical #bekind #disabilities #invisiblecondition
