Salome is walking and being happy!!

By Julian Martinez Rivera | Leader of Communications and Cooperation

Salome is little and pretty girl wiht so much attitude.

Thanks to your help and donations we could give her a new leg and she can now learn to walk by herself.

Salome was borned with an special condition, one of her legs did not develop correctly, so it is notoriously shorter than the other. Because of that, she was not able walk normally, but your help changed that. Now Salome is a beautiful girl starting her days in the kinder garden and she will go to school soon. 

When Salome came to Mahavir Kmina's facility she was very shy, "all this strange people looking at me", she might have thought. But it did not take long for her to gain confidence and before long she was posing for the camera.

With this new prosthesis Salome will grow more confident about herself and she will be able to live a happy and healthy childhood. Now she is learning to walk, but soon she also is going to run, jump, swim and climb, like any other kid.

The chance to walk again for a kid is the chance to believe that there is good in the world. Salome's family is really grateful and touched by your help, they and Mahavir Kmina team want to thank you for helping this little girl.

From the Mahavir Kmina team we want to say THANK YOU, you are the game shifter for this family and for this kid that deserved another chance. Please consider becoming a regular monthly donor so you can help changing the world and share with us more achievements. 

With gratitude!
