Meet Valentina
Valentina took her first flight with Wings of Hope in January 2023.
“I needed surgery on my femur because my left one was shorter than my right one,” she said. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do it in Tennessee, and Shriners Hospital was the best place to do it here in St. Louis.”
Leg-lengthening is a long process that requires multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and follow-up appointments. In a little over two years, we flew Valentina 12 times — saving Valentina and her mom the 10-hour roundtrip drive from Nashville. Today, the 19-year-old has finished treatment and is excited to study economics in college.
“Without Wings of Hope, I wouldn’t have been able to get my very first surgery which helped me even out my legs and my femur. And, today, I wouldn’t be able to hike and do things outdoors.”
