Dear donors,
My name is Diocelina Carupia and I take care of my 13 month old grandson named Dokiduby. When he was born he was diagnosed with cleft lip and split palate, two conditions that unfortunately are very common in our region of Mutata, Colombia. Dokiduby is a very bright little boy, he likes to play with balls and cars, and is very eager to learn how to speak and walk.
Thanks to your contribution my grandson underwent a surgery to solve his cleft lip, and once he is old enough he will be able to receive the split palate procedure. Despite the difficulties for a baby to go through surgery, Dokiduby has been receiving a lot of support from his doctors, who have been providing speech therapies, family counseling and nutritional assistance due to his low weight. His progress during the last few months has been outstanding and we have no doubt that in the future, this will give him the opportunity to express himself better, to feel comfortable when interacting with other kids, and more importantly, to have self-confidence.
For this we’ll be eternally grateful, thank you.
Diocelina
