Sara was born with Apert Syndrome a craniofacial condition that also affects the hands and feet. Since birth, her family has faced many difficult challenges. With myFace’s support and your generosity, Sara receives comprehensive care at The myFace Center for Craniofacial Care at the Hansjörg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery, NYU Langone Medical Center. Dr. Joseph McCarthy and the team at the myFace Center worked tirelessly to assure a plan for Sara’s treatment. Sara has had 30 surgeries to date and is doing incredibly well.
myFace is concerned not only with Sara’s medical care but with her psychosocial needs as well. It is so rewarding to see Sara grow and thrive, despite having Apert Syndrome. Sara is a shining example of courage, a strong young woman, and an important part of the myFace family.
