About Victoria

Victoria is a beautiful 7 year old girl. She is waiting in Eastern Europe for a family to come and rescue her. She has been placed in a mental institution, not because she is mentally disabled, but because she has arthrogryposis. This condition has been untreated and at this time she cannot walk. Arthrogryposis is not a progressive disease. It is a disease that affects your tendons. She was born with it and does not get worse with age. Does the fact she cannot walk stop her from smiling even thought she lives in horrible conditions? Nope, so can you imagine what her smile would look like if she found out she has a family. Stay tuned for more pictures, more about her condition, and more about what you can do to help her find her family.
