Julia Ruszczyk
Julia - 16 years old and everyday life demanding more.
She is a teenager who gets up every day and goes to school 40 kilometers away. It's not a minor detail, it's part of her rhythm. She learns, functions among her peers and faces challenges that remain invisible to others. Her everyday life requires organization, support and a lot of perseverance. What does she face on a daily basis? Julia has a congenital malformation syndrome that includes amblyopia, hearing loss, congenital heart defect, hip dysplasia, cleft palate, and ectopic kidneys. These conditions affect many areas of her functioning and require constant medical supervision and rehabilitation. Every day she commutes to a special school and remains under the constant care of her mother.
