Variety Week 2025: Esperanza gets a customized orthotic back brace
Description
October 26, 2025
As we wrap up Variety Week, we meet 10-year-old Esperanza who was diagnosed with scoliosis. The only way to re-align her spine was a customized orthotic back brace worth thousands of dollars, which was something her family simply could not afford. But now with help from Variety, nothing will keep Espy on the sidelines. Sophie Lui reports.
