Hello!!!

My name is Isabella, you can see me in the photo in the shopping center, one of my favorite places and that I share with my mother and grandmother, with whom I live in a neighborhood in Medellín, Colombia.

 

I am 11 years old and I was born with a malformation because my spine and spinal cord did not form properly, this is called spina bifida, which has caused me a physical disability, I have problems walking, moving and other complications; I must carry out constant rehabilitation therapies in order to have better physical and emotional well-being and a better quality of life. The Patronato Foundation to which I belong, has made it possible, thanks to the donations of many people, for me to receive my therapies in a timely and effective manner, thanks to them I have been able to receive care at home, learn stimulation exercises, develop motor skills, arts activities plastic arts, pedagogical initiation, music, hydrotherapy, developing creative talent and self-care, among many other activities that help me with my recovery and I really enjoy doing them.

 

All the support received and the accompaniment of my family have made me a happy, fun girl. I love to paint cartoon books, draw, sing and practice what I learned in my therapies. For this reason, today I want to thank you for your generosity and for the change that you have made in my life through your donation.

 

Like Isabella, many boys and girls can receive their rehabilitation therapies, thanks to her generosity and that of other donors. Together we can continue to change many lives.
