A Dublin mum has started a fundraiser to pay for a major surgery for her daughter who has lived with a dislocated hip for 14 years.
Antoinette Burke, originally from Coolock, has watched her now 16-year-old daughter Katie, who lives with cerebral palsy, deal with the immense pain of having hip issues since she was two. Katie refuses to use her wheelchair and has been walking with crutches instead ever since she underwent surgery when she was seven.
But she might have to become a wheelchair user again unless she has another surgery. “There are days Katie can’t even get out of bed with the pain and it's horrible to see her like this,” Antoinette said.
