Everyone deserves a reason to smile, but for this 12-year-old girl, sometimes its difficult.
Laura Lopez, who lives in El Campo, Honduras, has a rare facial tumor that has been protruding from her face since she was 2 years old. The tumor affects her mouth and teeth, has caused bullying at school and could result in the loss of her eye if not treated -- but her family is unable to afford the necessary procedures to remove it.
To help Laura get the medical care she deserves, CrowdRise has launched a 24-hour campaign to help raise funds for her treatments.
I want the best for her, Lauras father, Terencio, says in the video produced and translated by the organization. I want her to be normal like other children.
