YOUR AMBASSADOR
You give kids like Abby a head start
Born with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia — a rare condition in which the shinbone develops a fracture that fails to heal properly — Abby has faced significant challenges since birth.
Through surgeries and complications, she has benefited from specialized care, leading-edge technology and the expertise of the teams at Sainte-Justine.
With your support, Abby continues her journey toward recovery. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping provide children like her with better care and new pathways to hope.
