I forget that I am small. I see myself the same as everyone else.
Her parents feared something was wrong when they saw that their daughter had trouble walking and was smaller than the other children.
His most recent operation was in October of last year and lasted five hours. The surgeons filed the uneven tips of the thigh bones to make them more rounded and reduce the constant pain Georgia suffered.
Her parents are helping their daughter raise the 22.000 euros to buy the wheelchair that is specially adapted to his small body. A previous campaign already touched the hearts of the people of their hometown and they managed to raise 4.800 euros before Christmas.
The family wants to use the money at the end of this year to help Georgia achieve her dream of traveling to Florida and swimming with dolphins.
