Infant Born with Life-threatening Condition Gets Help From local Non Profit

Petya I Edwards Foundation helps family with infant girl born with numerous defects.

DALLAS, July 6, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Baby Raquel Knight was born 9 weeks early to a young single mother. Raquel was born with many birth defects, including a malformed spine, legs that are different lengths, malformed reproductive organs and digestive tracks, and other issues that have kept her in and out of the Children's Hospital of Dallas.  She is in need of constant care, and cannot undergo the necessary surgeries to correct her birth defects until she is at least 20 pounds (approximately age 2).

Raquel's maternal grandmother contacted the Petya I Edwards Foundation for help. Raquel's mother has been forced to quit her job to give the necessary 24 hour care to her infant daughter, and only has the help of the baby's grandmother. The baby's mother has remained optimistic, but both Baby Raquel and her mother desperately need financial and emotional support during this difficult time.  The Petya I Edwards Foundation has stepped in to help Baby Raquel and her mother, but the Foundation needs the support of the local community.
