Before she was even two years old, little Myla Lieskovsky had already faced challenges no child should have to endure. 👶💔

Born in November, Myla developed a significant swelling on the left side of her face. Doctors initially struggled to understand what was happening, and she spent her first month of life in the NICU at Alberta Children’s Hospital, undergoing repeated MRIs, CT scans, and other tests. 🏥🩺

Eventually, genetic testing revealed that Myla has capillary malformation–arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM), an extremely rare vascular disorder involving abnormal blood vessels. In Myla’s case, the malformation is unusually large for such a young child. 💙

The condition has affected her everyday life in heartbreaking ways. She experiences bleeding around her teeth, gums, and nose, while her vision and hearing have also been affected. 😢

For her parents, finding safe and effective treatment has been a long and exhausting journey. They sought help from specialists in Canada and eventually connected with the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation, opening the door to experts from around the world. 🌎🙏

Doctors told the family that Myla’s case was exceptionally unusual, making treatment particularly challenging.

Now, her family is placing their hope in a specialist in Italy, Dr. Giacomo Colletti, who performs a specialized procedure known as modified electro-scleral therapy. The family has been preparing to meet him before traveling to Italy for treatment. ✈️🏥✨

For Myla’s mother, Samantha, the dream isn’t complicated.

She simply wants her little girl to receive treatment, come home, heal, and one day experience the ordinary joys of childhood. 🌈💕

She hopes that someday Myla will be able to look at her and say:

“Mommy, I want to go and play sports.” 🥹💙⚽

Myla’s condition has completely changed her family’s life, but her mother says her daughter has also brought them something unexpected — strength, love, and a deeper appreciation for what truly matters. ❤️

Her journey is far from over, but Myla’s family continues to hold onto hope that the right treatment can give their little girl a brighter, happier, and more carefree future. 🌟🙏💙

She has already shown incredible strength. Now her family is simply hoping for the chance to watch her grow, play, and enjoy childhood like every other little girl. 🥺🌈💗
