Una nueva silla de ruedas para Valeria

Donation protected
Hola, soy Luisa, mamá de Valeria León. Vivimos en Fusagasugá, Colombia.
Valeria desde los dos meses de edad ha sido diagnosticada de Epilepsia, Parálisis Cerebral y osteoporosis generadas por una lesión en su cerebro al parecer desarrollada desde la gestación, lo cual ha hecho que tenga  un alto grado de discapacidad. Hoy Valeria tiene 10 años y durante su vida ha tenido varios procedimientos para lograr una mejor calidad de vida, entre ellos cirugía en su cadera y cirugía por fractura patológica. 

Para Valeria es indispensable obtener una silla de múltiples posiciones que permita su movilización en casa, en transporte y exterior y sobretodo que brinde la seguridad que ella requiere por la fragilidad de sus huesos. Desafortunadamente en nuestro país no se producen sillas con estas características y debemos importarla de Estados Unidos y por su costo se nos hace muy difícil cubrir su pago total.
 
Por esta razón, hoy acudimos a ustedes con su apoyo para cumplir la meta, comprar esta silla y seguir mejorando la calidad de vida de mi pequeña.

Nota: Mi hermana Tatiana aparece como beneficiaria puesto que ella es quien hará el trámite de la compra y envio de la silla desde los Estados Unidos y así facilitará el proceso para que Valeria tenga la silla prontamente.

Hi, my name is Luisa, Valeria León's mother. We live in Fusagasugá, Colombia.
Valeria from the age of two months has been diagnosed with Epilepsy, Cerebral Palsy, and osteoporosis. This was caused apparently by an injury to her brain that developed during gestation. This has made her highly disabled. Today, Valeria is 10 years old and during her life, she has had several procedures to achieve a better quality of life, including surgery on her hip and surgery for a pathological fracture.

For Valeria, it is essential to obtain a special chair with multiple positions that allow her to move at home, in transport, outside, and above all, that provides the security she requires due to the fragility of her bones. Unfortunately in our country, chairs with these characteristics are not produced and we must import them from the United States. Due to the high cost, it is very difficult for us to cover the payments needed to obtain this special chair.

For this reason, today we come to you for your support to meet this goal, buy this chair, and continue to improve the quality of life of my little girl.

Note: My sister Tatiana appears as a beneficiary since she is the one who will process the purchase and shipment of the chair from the United States and thus facilitate the process so that Valeria can have the chair promptly.
