Born with congenital scoliosis, Yonalfrin's mother first noticed something was wrong when he was a toddler. He underwent surgery at age 3 but as he grew, Yonalfrin desperately needed surgery to correct the progression of his spine, which was beginning to crush his lungs. Through a combination of halo device as well as multiple spine surgeries, Yonalfrin returned home this spring to the Dominican Republic able to stand tall and breath deeper than ever before.
