When Playmobil can save the life of a child : the story of Javier Perez Hidalgo

[playmovictorian]

Good afternoon dear Friends 

On this Sunday afternoon, I would like to bring your attention towards a 9 years old little boy who lives in Spain. Javier Perez Hidalgo was born a healthy and happy little boy until he reached 3 years old and was diagnosed with the Leigh Syndrom which is a rare disease which affects the central nervous system and to which there is no cure yet, but real hope ! Over the years Young Javier lost his sight and the ability of walking. In 2013 a first successful operations gave him back the mobility of one side of his body and his family is now carrying new hopes with a second operation that could give him the ability to walk again as well as improving his mobility in areas such as speaking or eating. This new operation will come at a financial price and I would like to salute the wonderful initiative and generosity of heart and soul of our Friends from the Playmoworld in Spain who have put together an amazing Playmobil exhibition in Utrera, Spain from 21st February 2014 to 16th March 2014 and of which all sales will go against the 10 000 Euros that costs the operation which could be life changing for young Javier

Good morning dear Friends 

In a world often overshadowed by grief, indifference and injustice, a simple picture is sometimes just what we need to smile again and still have hope in the future, human kind and Life in general.

And one of these pictures is the face of a courageous little boy named Javier Pérez Hidalgo from Utrera in Spain who was suffering from a rare disease which called for an unprecedented and very costly operation which his family simply could not afford on her own.

But when the entire community of the town of Utrera together with many local and national associations gathered behind Javier's cause, the miracle did happen 

Thanks to the generosity and relentless work of those involved, more than 10 000 Euros were raised towards the operation and the medical follow up afterwards.

The operation performed by the acclaimed Dr Igor Nazarov was a complete success and young Javier is now on is way towards a brand new life !

From our community, we may all congratulate the association and all involved in the Playmo exhibition which raised the funds towards Javiers operation and now road to recovery!

May God bless Javier and all involved !
