Help Sophia and other children like her

 

Among all forms of love, there is one that becomes stronger when shared. Caring for those around us. It can be a helping hand at the right time, a step taken together, a smile that brings peace, or a small gesture that can change a destiny.  

Sophia is four years old and has a fragile body: she weighs less than 9 kilograms and is almost 80 centimeters tall. For Sophia, every step is a challenge, and every movement must be done with care, because the slightest fall can cause fractures.  

Sophia wants to go to kindergarten, to learn, to discover and to grow at her own pace, surrounded by the simple joy of being with other children.  

And to make her wishes come true, a social worker from the community has come into her life, offering a helping hand and support that guides Sophia and her family every step of the way. The social worker has helped the family obtain the necessary documents and the allowance to which Sophia is entitled. She is also taking steps to enroll her in kindergarten, with her mother present in the classroom, so that Sophia can learn and play safely.
