Milagros Sticks the Landing
She nearly didn’t survive infancy. Now she’s queen of the rink.
Milagros’s cleft made her choke every time she tried to nurse. Her parents felt helpless and terrified as their baby wasted away before them.
Desperate, they visited every hospital in Buenos Aires, only to be turned away because they had no money.
Then they found their local Smile Train partner, where Milagros received two free life-changing cleft surgeries.
Now that she no longer had to worry about surviving, Milagros could focus on thriving. She discovered her passion when she was only six years old: Artistic roller skating.
Off the rink, her local cleft team continues to be there for her, building her confidence with free, personalized orthodontics, dentistry, and speech therapy.
Now nothing can hold Milagros back because she knows that even when life gets wobbly, she can still stick the landing.
Every child deserves to chase their dreams. Donate today and change a child’s life forever.
