100 and 1 Dima's diagnosis!

"I’m the mother of a special boy, Dima. Despite the diagnosis of cerebral palsy, he is really special. When I look into his beautiful eyes and charming smile, I for a moment forget about all the problems", so begins the appeal to all the mother of 5-year-old Dima. Father left them when Dima was 8 months old. And now she and Dima live in the great-grandmother’s old house in a village in Cherkasy region, every day in the dream that the baby will take his first step.

The boy has atrophy of the optic nerves of both eyes, he does not sit, does not walk, almost does not roll over. Every mother of a special child knows how hard it is to treat cerebral palsy and how much strength and patience it takes, but she can’t lose hope, rehabilitation and treatment courses at medical centers are very important for children like Dima. Such a course of treatment in Truskavets significantly increased this year – 18 140 UAH – the cost of treatment for Dima in August.

After the last rehabilitation, Dima tried to sit down on his own and roll over, such rehabilitation cannot be stopped. This year, the state allocated a meager amount for treatment courses for children such as Dimka. Therefore, your help will be able to bring Dima's mother closer to the realization of a dream, so that her only child walks herself. The kid is really a very cute and kind child, he loves to ride on a swing and play with pets. And every time a mother looks into the eyes of her only child, she dreams of one thing – so that he can walk!
