Your Shoes can save local BABY CORA
Cora was born with a very rare birth defect that only affects 1 out of every 250,000 baby girls. Because of this defect her bladder, colon, and uterus are all fused together. She has already had five surgeries. Her condition is rare and gravely endangers her life. Only one hospital in the United States has experience repairing fused organs and creating the anal and vaginal openings that she was born without. That hospital is all the way in Ohio. The hospital, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), has accepted her and will perform the surgery however, due to insurance problems Cora's family will have to pay the full cost of the surgery, prior to the operation. The cost of the surgery is estimated at $150,000. Cora needs this surgery to sustain her life. Doctors recommend that the surgery be performed at 6-months of age but due to the financial and insurance constraints and that Cora is now 9-months old her chances of success continue to decline as time passes.rnrnWE ARE COLLECTING SHOES AS A FUNDRAISER!!!!
