Nigerian girl going home with new face and new life

San Diego, California Talk Radio Station - 760 KFMB AM - 760kfmb


A Nigerian girl who was born with severe facial defects is getting a chance at a new life thanks to San Diego surgeons.
Favour Mwuzor finally gets to be a kid again. But to get to this point it took a flight from Nigeria, several surgeries and a lot of love.
Doris Mwuzor started looking for help the day Favour was born, but her search was going nowhere.
"In Nigeria - I did not know what she was going through - I knew physical deformity - but why - I didn't know until I came here," she said.
Favour was born with a congenital disorder which caused underdeveloped ears and a severely disfigured jaw. And to correct them, doctors in Nigeria knew she needed to go somewhere with better medical services.
So a non-profit organisation called Fresh Start Surgical Gifts brought her to San Diego, where she's undergone three surgeries in six months, and was forced to wear a device called a distractor.
"Waking up from surgery - her first question to the nurse was - when do I get to ride my bike again," said Amanda Thompson.
