Their story — in their own words

It's infinitely hard for us to ask for help. But today we've reached a point where we can't do it alone. Our wonderful daughter Leonor is 8 years old and lives with the rare FOXG1 syndrome — a genetic disease affecting only a handful of children worldwide.

Leonor cannot speak and needs 24-hour support. Every small step forward is the result of countless hours of therapy, hard work, and patience. Walking, speaking, eating on her own, or playing — all are daily challenges.

We need support for specialized intensive therapies, medical assistive devices, and travel to doctors and specialized therapy centers. Every dollar is a new opportunity for our daughter.

If you can't help financially, sharing our story is already a huge help. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Leonor.
