Project Report | Aug 28, 2026
Guadalupe is taking her first steps

By Veronica G | Project Leader

Standing on Her Own
Standing on Her Own

After facing significant health challenges from an early age, Guadalupe underwent the surgery she needed to improve her mobility.

Today, we are happy to share a beautiful update: Guadalupe has taken her first steps. 

With the support of her therapies and continued medical care, she is making progress in her recovery and gaining greater mobility little by little.

For Guadalupe and her family, these first steps mean so much more than learning to walk. They represent progress, independence, and new possibilities for her future.

Her journey continues, and so does the need for therapies and specialized care.

Thanks to our donors, Guadalupe is moving forward—one step at a time.

Your support can help more children with disabilities access the care they need to grow, develop, and reach their full potential.

Thank you for being part of Guadalupe's journey.
