Aging Parents: A project dedicated to persons with disabilities and their aging parents

By Adam Campbell

Five-year-old Victoria Terrio loves to run around and play like any child her age.
The only difference, Victoria has partial CHARGE Syndrome.
She was born with her eye retinols not completely formed, a bone blockage in her left nare, retardation of growth and her windpipe attached to her esophagus.
When kids are going through their lunch box at school, Victoria has to sit in a chair for an hour while being fed through her feeding tube.
Last winter was the first time in Victoria’s young life that she was able to play in the snow.
What does the future hold for young Victoria? Only time will tell.
Watch Victoria’s story.
