Dominique
Valenti, who works at Shell, has a 13-month-old daughter named Catalina
who was born with Prader-Willi syndrome – a rare genetic disorder.
Only 1 in
15,000 to 20,000 children are born with the condition. It causes a
variety of issues from intellectual disability to poor growth and physical
development. While there's no cure, there are some
treatments that can help.
Valenti
asked News 12 to thank viewers who donated on her behalf.
