2 year old girl needs surgery to save her right leg

Nihal

Available for over a year

Rehana Qadir's 2 year old daughter Zahra was born with one leg shorter than the other. Her right leg is missing an important bone and the NHS says if she is to walk with a prosthetic leg in the future, her leg must be partially amputated soon. There is another option though, surgeons in the USA say they could save Zahra's leg by extending it through advanced technology. But that surgery will cost a lot of money and now her family has started a campaign to raise the money. Rehana speaks to Sonali about Zahra's condition.
