BARRA DE SÃO FRANCISCO, BRAZIL Vitória Marchioli was born with a genetic disorder called Treacher Collins Syndrome. Because of this syndrome, 40 bones in her face did not develop, which affected her eyes. When she was born, doctors gave her only a few hours to live and advised her parents to start making funeral arrangements already. But they refused to give up.
