Who is Mathis?
Meet the child behind the 2025 Telethon poster
At 18 months old, Mathis fractured his femur. In a cast from toes to shoulder blades, he remained bedridden for 5 weeks. The story repeated itself twice. Each fracture brought pain, immobility, and shock for his family.
Today, the hospital is investigating a more serious underlying cause. Thanks to specialized care and equipment funded by Enfant Soleil, hope remains strong for Mathis and his family.
