A teenager who
lived with his head hanging to one side of his body is finally able to see the
world ‘straight’ after life-changing surgery.
Mahendra Ahirwar, age 13, has a rare condition that made his
neck muscles so weak his head hung at a degree of 180 angle.
His crocked
neck restricted him to just sitting as he was unable to stand or walk and
needed external help to eat and go to the toilet.
But
Mahendra’s life has been changed for the better thanks to a stranger,
mother-of-two Julie Jones living 4,000 miles away in Liverpool who read his
story and raised £12,000 for an operation to straighten his neck. Now the
Mahendra can do the things other boys his age can – like go to school.
