Helen: With Love and Support

By Daniela Acevedo Restrepo | Management Assistant

Dear Donor,

We want to tell you about Helen, an empathetic, brave and loving girl. In 2022, she and her family came to our Foundation seeking help for her medical condition: spina bifida, a neural tube defect that can affect motor and sensory function, as well as other aspects of health. Her health insurance was delaying her treatments and therapies, making her situation even more difficult.

Since joining the Foundation, we have provided Helen with the necessary support for her recovery, including medication and a comprehensive rehabilitation program. This approach focuses on improving your muscle strength, mobility, and coordination, helping you develop skills that encourage your independence. In 2024, we have also been able to support her with a change of prosthesis, which has been essential for her well-being.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Helen not only receives the right care for her condition, but also participates in the art therapy project. This creative space is crucial to your recovery, allowing you to express your feelings, improve your emotional well-being, and foster your personal development.

We deeply appreciate your support, which makes it possible for children like Helen to receive the care and opportunities they deserve. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in their lives.
