Standing in Greece

Dorra (Doaa al Deaf),18 years old, is one of tens of thousands of Syrian children who left their country with their families to escape from horrors. Today she feels lucky to be alive, when a few months ago a bomb fell on her house without any casualties, but at a huge cost, mentally and physically: she lost her leg and became disabled.

The only hope of survival for her family, coming from a small town near the blood-stained Aleppo, is fleeing the country and searching for better fortune in Europe. Armed with vast reserves of courage and patience, they took the road of refuge through Turkey, where they made a necessary stop: with all the money they had left after paying the traffickers, they used it for Dora's surgery and the addition of an artificial limb, so that the girl to be able to walk again and cope with the difficult and uncertain continuity.

With an additional member for several years, he decides to take Dora to the prosthetic-orthodontist who changed his own life, Costas Chronopoulos, who maintains a rehabilitation center in Athens. His initiative takes place: the young prosthetist-orthodontist makes a "gift" to the refugee child the rehabilitation and treatment costing several thousand euros, and after many trials, Dorra is now sure: her life came back as she wanted it and now she dreams and sees the world with different eyes.

After the success of the prosthetic surgery, Dorra is grateful for the prosthetist-orthotist Kostas Chronopoulos.

In a few weeks she and her family will be transferred to France where they were accepted, and there Dora will continue the school she violently dropped out of three years ago, aiming to go to Medicine and return ... to Greece, where she dreams to become prosthetic too, in order to offer joy and hope to the unfortunate people, just as it happened with her ...
