Her rehabilitation started with physiotherapy at the age of four. After kindergarten she attended pre-school, where she stood out thanks to her intelligence and ability.

When she was seven years old the doctors decided to carry out hip reconstruction surgery. Her mother is forced to look after her daughter on her own, as the father has not supported them since the birth. Luz Angelica Garcia Garcia enjoys drawing with crayons.
