Claudia's Life-Changing Surgery

  • πŸ’‘ Claudia Malam Shocki, a mother of two, underwent breast reconstructive surgery to remove 20-year-old breast implants causing severe health complications.
  • πŸ˜₯ Before the surgery, Claudia experienced significant pain, anxiety attacks, and difficulty sleeping and holding her young daughter due to the implants.

Scope of Reconstructive Procedures

  • πŸ› οΈ The charity focuses on reconstructive surgery for conditions such as burn reconstruction, cancer reconstruction, traumatic injuries, and congenital deformities.
