She was in intensive care for several days and her recovery was successful. When the Ni os' volunteer who had found her went into her hospital room with a gift of a teddy bear, Monica gave him a big smile and a hug. After her hospital stay she returned home and continues to progress. Thanks to the keen eyes of the volunteer and the love and generosity of the doctors involved, a life was saved. In March of that year it received its nonprofit status and in 1995 it was authorized to receive donations.

Since it began, Ni os Incapacitados has grown continuously. Each year it helps more and more children and young people with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, meningitis, and types of birth defects. In addition to providing braces, wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, prostheses and other equipment, the organization pays for medications, x-rays and diagnostic tests and coordinates consultations with specialists. Volunteers are kept busy providing the necessary transportation and visits to the children in hospitals and in their homes. As a disabled child grows, shoes and braces must be changed.
