Giselle aka Cita is my 5 year old daughter. Misdiagnosed at birth— she has been on an uphill journey fighting CHD (Congenital Heart disease). To date she’s had 3 open heart surgeries with the latest being march 29th 2023. She hasn’t been walking even a year, Doesn’t communicate verbally, she’s diagnosed with autism and currently depends on a g-tube for feeding & nutrition consumption. What does that mean to her? Absolutely nothing! She is the epitome of what a TRUE warrior is. A hero in my eyes, my daughter has gone through more in her short span of life than most families do in an entire generation. To know her is to love her. She has such an infectious sprit and drive thats contagious to anyone who gets to witness her in action. Her perseverance and resiliency is unlike any great leader you’ve learned and read about in books & classrooms. There’s days when I look at her and just say wow—God really blessed me with this one. No obstacle is too big, no bed is too high! If her mind is made up, she makes a way out of no way & even if they say she’s not able —Cita will climb! A fighter and a lover & the strongest person I know—I strive everyday to be Strong like Cita.
We walk because even if you tried you cannot stop her. She loves to explore and see the world . My little Dora the explorer.
