My name is Raghdah, and I am the mother of Natalie, a 3-year-old girl.
Natalie was born prematurely at 32 weeks and was diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, causing severe muscle stiffness, delayed movement, and difficulty sitting and standing. She also suffers from optic nerve damage, which affects her vision and limits how she sees the world.
Natalie is aware, responsive, and full of will. She smiles, calls out, and tries every day to move and explore — but without continuous therapy, her pain increases and her condition worsens.
She urgently needs:
Physical, sensory-motor, and speech therapy
Visual stimulation therapy
Medical follow-ups
Essential assistive devices (AFO braces, night splints, standing frame, seating support)
💔 The annual cost of Natalie’s treatment and equipment is approximately $10,000, far beyond our financial ability.
I am not asking for comfort — I am asking for a child’s right to treatment, dignity, and hope.
Every donation, no matter how small, can change Natalie’s future.
With gratitude,
Raghdah Darwish
Mother of Natalie
