She Never Gave Up! Little *”Noor” was severely injured in the Turkey/Syria earthquake after her house collapsed on top of her and she remained buried under the rubble for three days. Miraculously, she survived! But her injuries were critical. She has been suffering from Crush Syndrome which ultimately resulted in the amputation of her right toes. The amputation caused her to have the inability to balance herself while sitting, crawling, or walking. She began visiting UOSSM’s Physiotherapy Center in Kilis in May 2023. Through her physiotherapy sessions”Noor” was trained to use appropriate sitting positions to reduce deformities, and was provided with a splint to prevent further deformity in the right limb, and improve her ability to walk. She can now crawl and walk using a walker and the splint! Her mother was so excited saying, ” At the beginning of her injury she couldn’t even sit. Now, she can hold on to something and walk a little bit. I am grateful to all the staff at the center.” *Noor is a cover name to protect the child’s identity. We are so happy to share amazing stories like this. Our supporters enable us to reach the most vulnerable every single day. There is still so much to do, please continue to support our work. Together, we continue to save lives and build hope.  |
