Beyond Scoliosis
In the beginning, Butterfly Foundation was meant to help children, but not by surgery. Geraldine Collado, Co-Founder, gathered donations and made an annual gift to the patients of Robert Reid Cabral Pediatric Hospital in the Dominican Republic during the holiday season. These children suffered from diseases like tuberculosis, cancer, and pneumonia and because of the lack of resources patients would be put in overcrowded rooms in the worst of conditions. Some of the children were abandoned by their families and lived in the hospital.
The Foundation wishes to continue helping the children of this hospital as we continue to keep close contact with patients. We are committed to helping children, as we believe that there can be no better job than helping the worm turn into a butterfly so that it may achieve the impossible. We like to believe that this Foundation has a heart whose every beat brings us closer to achieving a better world for children.
