The Duval family is hoping to help Julia's family get access to medical care when they can finally leave Gaza.
Five-year-old Dallas Duval is what her mom calls a chatterbox. During an interview with mom Izzie, Dallas made sure to show us all of her favorite toys like any 5-year-old would. But Dallas is not like all girls her age. 'Dallas has a lot of special things about her,' Izzie Duval said. 'She is creative, she is silly and she loves to sing. She also has a couple of ultra-rare diagnoses; she has something called alternating hemiplegia of childhood .
Izzie Duval connected with Julia's dad, Amjad, on a support group for AHC on Facebook. 'This man had posted in the group that his daughter had been in an episode for about six months, and my daughter, at most, will be at 10 days, and that's really severe. You should be in a hospital at that point,' Duval said. 'He responded back are you a doctor and I was like no, I'm just a mom, but I just want to help.
