Isabella walks for the first time!

By Maria Camila Posada Abad | Project Leader

``I love my new leg`` said Isabela to his mommy when trying to walk for the first time. Mommy was so happy she couldn`t stop smilling, she was just amazed.

Thanks to your donations Isabela is walking for the first time and 2016 is going to be an amazing year for her and her mother. Little Isa was born with a deformity that made one of her legs shorter than the other and she  couldn´t walk by herself. Also her fingers were together and she couldn`t develop fine motor skills. 

Even though Isa had some health issues she was never sad or felt different, she played and laughed like every other kid but needed a little bit of help to grow even happier, find some health and mostly have independence while performing daily routines. 

Now Isa went back to her house in San Andrés Island and is ready not only to learn to walk perfectly but also to run, swim and jump as high as she can. Her mother is going to work again and provide for a better future for both of them. In a few years Isa will be able to go to school and study and will do it by herself. 

You, the donor, made this dream possible, Isa and her mother are now happy an living a fair life. Thank you for changing their life. 

Remember that you can become a recurring monthly donor to help even more people!!  

Thank you again!!
