HELP AND ENABLE ELEONORA TO MAINTAIN HER ABILITY TO WALK
Eleonora is a very lovable and interested girl. She is behind in her development and cannot yet stand up or walk by herself and only speaks a few words. Eleonora is so warm and with her sweet nature you can only take her to your heart. We are convinced that Eleonora will be able to make great progress in her development with the dolphin therapy in Coracao. We very much hope that she will gain more and more self-confidence and thus a certain degree of independence.
ELEONORA'S LIFE
In the 17th week of pregnancy, Eleonora was diagnosed with a brain malformation called semilobar holoprosencephaly and cerebellum agenesis. We were devastated. One week after her birth, a shunt had to be implanted so that cerebrospinal fluid could drain from her brain. This allowed the water to drain, but there were repeated valve blockages and inflammations. This year she had to have a hip and thigh operation. Eleonora was then in plaster for 7 weeks from the belly button down both legs. After the cast was removed, she had a femur fracture due to remineralization. Back in hospital, back in surgery. After that she was terrified. Eleonora also has severe epilepsy.

ELEONORA'S FAMILY THANKS YOU FOR YOUR DONATION
Our wish for Eleonora is that she can develop her motor skills. Through the intensive 2-week therapy with dolphins, we hope that she will build up more body tension and be able to use her legs more. She is currently at a stage where she is enthusiastic and shows a lot of interest in learning. We want to take advantage of this state and offer her the best possible therapy options. She also feels comfortable and happy in the water.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support!
