11-year-old Afsin Kumbar sees the world at a 90-degree angle as her head is tilted and frozen in that position. It happened when the girl was only 8 months old, she was taken out into the yard, put on the ground and she very badly fell on her side, injuring her neck.
Afsin lives in the village of Mithi in Pakistan with his mother Jamilan, older brother Mohammed and his children. Due to the poverty of the Afsin family, not a single doctor has really examined her, and those who have seen her assume that she has a muscle injury.
Due to the strong tilt of Afsin's head, it is very difficult not only to absorb food, but also just to walk, and also go to the toilet. Because of this, she also does not go to school.
Afsin's future without treatment looks very grim; at best, she will live in her brother's family, completely dependent on the environment. At worst, her condition will worsen and lead to death.

The world media wrote about Afsin and her problem two years ago, but only one person responded, who said that he could help the girl and pay for the operation. The girl was even taken to a hospital in Karachi and had an initial examination. However, then it turned out to be impossible to contact the sponsor, he stopped responding. His name is not indicated.
In infancy, Afsin's condition after the injury was at first not bad, but every year her head sank lower and lower. The girl was taken to a local healer, but herbs and poultices did not help her.
