This is Racheli Karp, born in Melbourne, Australia, on 31 December 2000. Racheli and her family moved to Israel in 2003. She is a delightful young girl who, aside from her disability, is really a typical 7-year old. Unfortunately, all is not roses.

Racheli has a Spinal Arteriovenous Malformation, which has left her paraplegic from the waist down. Unfortunately, there are more malformations lying dormant in her spine. These need to be "deactivated" to prevent them from causing further damage.

The operation to "plug" the malformations is delicate and dangerous. We have taken advice from many sources, most of which point to a specialist clinic located in Beth Israel Hospital, New York.

The cost of this operation is almost prohibitive. However, hopefully, with your help, we can raise enough money to enable Racheli to have this operation.

Please browse through this website to learn more about Racheli, to learn more about her medical condition, to view photos, scans and other interesting information.

I know Racheli and her mother and this is the first I've heard of this. I am not close with the mother, so I never asked why Racheli is in a wheelchair.

I see Racheli around - she is an adorable girl, totally normal aside from her disability, and goes to a regular school that is attended by many children in the neighborhood.

Btw, just for the record, the photo you see above is squashed in case you couldn't tell - if you click to follow the link to the website, you'll see the same picture, but not resized. (Just wrote that because she looks a little funny in that picture, but if you see the original on their website, you'll see that she looks just like any other 7 yr. old.
