Dané's First Steps to a Bright Future.
Little Dané, at just one-year-old is already showing resilience. Born with a missing lower limb on her right side, a condition that developed before birth. Her parents reached out to Jumping Kids for help and thanks to The Star Foundation, she received her first prosthetic leg.
Since then, Dané has been unstoppable! She is reaching all her toddler milestones, keeping up with her peers and enjoying the fun and excitement of childhood.
Helping children like Dané early makes it easier for them to adjust to prosthetics, so they can focus on playing, learning and growing with confidence.
Dané will continuously receive support through the
Jumping Kids programme to ensure her prosthetic leg is regularly updated and maintained as she grows.
With the right support, Dané is ready to take on the world – one step at a time!
