A seven-year-old amputee is dreaming of becoming a gymnast - after undergoing successful surgery to save her leg for a second time.<br /><br />Victoria Komada was born with a conditon meaning her legs were formed backwards and she had missing bones.<br /><br />Her mum Marzena Drusewicz, 35, was initially told she'd need both amputated, but in 2018, doctors in the US saved Victoria's left leg - after her family raised £180,000.<br /><br />And, the school girl had been enjoying a normal childhood, until her left foot became twisted earlier this month, leaving her in need of additional surgery in Austria.<br /><br />The £10,000 operation was successful, but, as a result, Marzena is fundraising once more to cover hospital bills.<br /><br />Marzena, from Norwich, Norfolk, said: "The operation was five hours but... I am very happy and grateful to people who give us chance to save Victoria's leg.<br /><br />"Whether she'll need another operation depends on how she will grow over the next few years - but she has her heart set on being a gymnast."<br /><br />Victoria suffered from a congenital deformity at birth - bilateral tibial hemimelia - meaning her legs were formed backwards and she had missing bones.<br /><br />At just three-years-old she had to have her right leg removed, and doctors were pessimistic about the reality of saving her left. <br /><br />But in 2018, with the help of friends and family, Marzena managed to raise £180,000 for major surgery in the US.<br /><br />The specialist procedure meant the youngster's leg was saved, and with it, her dreams of becoming a professional gymnast. <br /><br />But, Victoria had to undergo surgery in Austria again earlier this month after her left foot became twisted.<br /><br />The surgery seems to have been a success, but the school girl's leg is currently still wrapped up in plaster to protect her wounds.<br /><br />When she recovers, Victoria says she wants to "ride my bike and play with my friends" - adding she is currently feeling good.<br /><br />That being said, Marzena has been left with a £10,000 hospital bill to pay.<br /><br />To help raise cash, Victoria's class mates at St Clements Hill Primary Academy put on a danceathon fundraiser last week (14/06).<br /><br />Victoria and her mum were special guests at the event, which was partly organised by family friend Sarah Herbert - who helped rally round for the initial money-raising effort.<br /><br />Sarah said: "We felt this gave us an opportunity to raise some money for her operation and recovery and also gives the children a great opportunity to show an act of kindness and show that they really can make a difference in someone else's life."<br /><br />The event helped raise £6,000 towards the £10,000 cost of the second operation.<br /><br />To donate to Victoria's fundraiser please visit: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/victoria-komada
