How you can get involved

What We Do

Craniosynostosis:

Metopic and Sagittal Fusions.

This is Attila’s story:
“Attila was born with an egg-looking head shape, which clinicians thought was due to the vacuum and forceps used during birth. Shortly after, they struggled to find his fontanelle so they sent us for an ultrasound. About two weeks later, they advised that he might have Craniosynostosis.

Apert Syndrome

This is Zuhair's story:

"We named our daughter Zuhrah, an Arabic name meaning "Venus" or "the morning star. As first-time parents, we were overjoyed, anticipating the boundless joy our little star would bring into our lives. But nothing could have prepared us for the unimaginable challenges we would face.

Nager Syndrome

This is Mariam's story:

Mariam was born with Nager Syndrome, a rare and debilitating condition that affects development of the lower face, jaw and mouth.
