Sarah is a beautiful girl of 7 years old who has captured our hearts with her sweet spirit. She appeared to be a normal baby when she was approximately 1 year and 9 months old; her parents noticed that she was experiencing loss of movements. She was not able to take her first steps; she had hard time standing up and the more she grew, the more movements she was lost. After some testing, Sarah was diagnosed with a dysfunction in her central nervous system that causes the disequilibrium with normal movements and damage to her motor coordination. She is bearer of ATAXIA, a genetic neurological dysfunction that leads to lesions on the cerebellum with causes Cerebrum -cerebellar dysfunction and atrophy of the organs needed for movement.

She is currently in a wheelchair, uses a walker and is undergoing speech tests and physiotherapy. This disease does not perpetuate death directly, but changes a great deal of her quality of life..

This, in turn, brings consequences to the welfare of her and his family. During this year, Sarah went through much testing and they diagnosed her with atrophy occurring in her optical nerves. Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy or Seitelberger  Disease. According to the doctors, it is a degenerative disease. We believe in an Almighty God who is the Creator of everything and everybody.

         Sarah\'s parents, a couple who is very committed to God full of faith, will not quit fighting for Sarah\'s life. Our church, as the body of Christ, is following Sarah\'s case very closely and supporting her family with prayers and some kind of material help.

A Physical therapist read about Sarah\' Story and offered her an Alternative Therapy for Exceptional Children called Therapies 4 Kids   and Sarah already started her first Session on March and presented positive results.

   On June of 2008, Sarah was being prepared for the Second Session of Physical Therapy.     However, at the end of the same month she was suddenly submitted to a surgery of stomach reduction due to an excessive reflux     that caused aspiration in her lungs and consequently a choque. It was also necessary to put a alimentary tube in her stomach.   

      Sarah\'s conditions were delicate due to this new adaptation and because of that the Physical Therapy had been suspended. On December of last year her Doctor authorized her to attend the Physical Therapy sessions and also was recommended for the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

 Sarah\'s father is the only one who works , but he has been unemployed for almost three months, until the beginning of this year, doing some small jobs by himself to support the family.

        With some savings and donations, Sarah was able to start her second session of Therapy @ Therapy 4 Kids in the beginning of April. She responded for the treatment very well, with great willpower. She has been recommended for another session in July of this year, after the Hyperbaic Oxygen Therapy.

 To make this happen we need the support from anyone who is compassionate for her story.

 The costs for this treatment and personal expenses during her trip is at least $ 3,500.00 and the family can’t afford paying this amount. If  you think you can help her, please contact us to make your donation.
