A seven-year-old amputee back on her feet again and dreaming of becoming a gymnast - after undergoing successful surgery to save her leg for a second time. Victoria Komada was born with a condition meaning her legs were formed backwards and she had missing bones.
Her mum Marzena Drusewicz, 35, was initially told she'd need both amputated, but in 2018 doctors in the US saved Victoria's left leg after her family raised £180,000. The schoolgirl had been enjoying a normal childhood until her left foot became twisted earlier this month, leaving her in need of additional surgery in Austria. The £10,000 operation was successful, but, as a result, Marzena is fundraising once more to cover hospital bills.
Marzena, from Norwich, Norfolk, said: "The operation was five hours, but I am very happy and grateful to people who give us chance to save Victoria's leg. Whether she'll need another operation depends on how she will grow over the next few years - but she has her heart set on being a gymnast."
