Spina Bifida Support Group

Spina bifida describes birth defects caused by an incomplete closure of one or more vertebral arches of the spine, resulting in malformations of the spinal cord. The spinal membranes and spinal cord may protrude through the absence of vertebral arches (called clefts).

Hi

Hi, my name is Gabby, I am 15 and I have spina bifida and club feet. I can walk because I had surgery to correct my feet. My wish is to possibly find someone maybe my age that I could talk to and connect with. Right now, I don't know anyone who has what I have. Everyone I know are normal and they don't really understand. I just wanna share my feelings with someone who will understand.

Hey :)
I'm the exact same age as you and it's almost as if I typed what you wrote. It would be really great to converse with you especially because I don't have anyone to relate with

At 15, without having your issues. I wasnt normal! No kid, even the popular ones dont feel "Normal" It was tough being a teenager(Im 47) ! I wasnt popular, or cool! I did my own thing. I was a LONER! School will be a blink of an eye! After high school, none of them will matter!
