Baby Needs an Operation on Her Legs

Victoria was born with a condition which means that she cannot walk properly. The little girl’s legs have no calf bones. This is an unusual deformity that only affects less than one in a million people.

Her parents were devastated. Her mother said that when she saw her baby for the first time, she was in a lot of shock. She was expecting a full, healthy baby because on every scan, the doctors said that she was perfect.

UK doctors have now told Victoria’s parents that the only option is to amputate their little girl´s legs. Her parents are now trying to raise 350 thousand pounds to take their daughter to America for life-changing treatment to save her legs. This is an operation which is not available in Britain and must be carried out before she reaches the age of two. The parents found a doctor in the US who could save her legs. The treatment would include three operations.

So far, the couple has raised around a hundred thousand pounds. Friends and family are trying to raise the rest of the funds before June when Victoria turns two.

Summary: Victory is a little girl who unfortunately was born with a rare deformity and cannot walk without the help of his parents, many doctors wanted to amputate his legs because they could not find a solution, until a US doctor said he could help and save his legs, but the operation is very expensive. Now her family is trying to get the money to finnaly help the little baby Victoria.

My Opinion: In my personal I think that Victoria is just another case of the great problem of the Medicine today. I mean, the world right now is complety structured to help only those people who can pay for the service and finally nothing for the others. Medical help should be free and for all equally regardless of anything other than to always help.

New words:
check-up (an examination)
expect (wait)
amputate (take away some part of a body)
