Help Katie get hip surgery
Donation protected
The reason for our urgent fundraising efforts is Katie Byrne, a determined 17-year-old from Cobh, County Cork, Ireland, bravely battling cerebral palsy and other challenging orthopedic conditions. Despite local challenges, Katie exudes resilience and a zest for life.
Sadly, local options fall short, deeming Katie “too weak” for surgery. We believe every avenue must be explored to enhance her quality of life. Hope now rests with The Paley Institute in Florida, renowned for groundbreaking orthopedic procedures that could be life-changing for Katie.
The journey to Florida is daunting and costly, but together as a community, we can make a difference. Notably, The Paley Institute's success has attracted a 50% surge in international patients, highlighting their exceptional outcomes.
Katie's need is pressing. Your donation can provide her access to advanced healthcare, reducing her discomfort and enhancing her quality of life. Your support today is not just for Katie Byrne; it's about giving her the opportunity to live fully, free from the confines of her wheelchair.
Join us in standing with Katie, advocating for her well-being, and empowering her to embrace life to the fullest. Your contribution can be the key to a brighter future for Katie.
