FLORIDA: A 3-year-old born with both legs bent backward has walked for the first time. She is able to walked after the public helped raise $234,000 for surgery.
Victoria Komada has bilateral tibial hemimelia – a congenital deformity which causes babies to be born with deformed legs and missing bones. Victoria had faced losing both her legs after doctors said two years ago that the only solution was a double amputation.
But the family then found an American surgeon in Florida who performed two miracle surgeries to save one of her legs, and give her the ability to walk for the first time.
Victoria’s parents managed to raise $234,000 for her treatment with the generosity of communities in Norwich and Szczecin, where the family is from in Poland. (Agencies)
