Gaja Stawska, 22-months-old, has Goldenhar syndrome - an extremely rare condition characterised by the abnormal development of the eye, ear and spine.

Due to Gaja's condition, the S-shaped curvature of her spine makes it challenging for her to maintain balance and walk.

She has been having physiotherapy since six weeks old and is now able to walk.

Her mum, Marita Stawska, 34, is hoping to raise £108,000 for a CT scan and ear reconstruction surgery in the US.
