Leann is now more independent and confident using both of her hands—something we never thought we would see. In our country, we had no means to get her the help she needed, and we felt so hopeless. Thanks to World Pediatrics medical volunteers and your incredible support, our lives have completely changed. Leann can now do things we once took for granted, like holding things with both hands. I am eternally grateful to all of you for giving her this chance."

– Gabriela, Leann’s mom
