Help for Lucija's operation.

Lucija is a 12-year-old girl, and she is the daughter of Ivana and Roberto, members of the Pope John XXIII Community who have chosen to dedicate their lives to welcoming into their Family House anyone who needs a mom and dad, for a while or forever.Lucija, unfortunately, has suffered from birth from a rare malformation, which caused her to have dysmetria in her lower limbs. As the years passed, the increased dysmetria forced her to wear an orthopedic shoe with a rather heavy elevation, as well as having to endure increasing pain in her hip, foot, and back.Today Lucjia has the opportunity to undergo leg lengthening surgery, based on an experimental methodology that is less invasive and, above all, much less painful than the traditional one, the cost of which is €60,000 and is not covered by the National Health Service. With your help we can enable her to have the surgery and start living the life she has always dreamed of, without limitations, just like all her peers.I have chosen to support Lucjia in this journey by activating a fundraiser, because she and her family have been instrumental in creating ours.Your donation can make a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
