Adam wants to walk

2-year-old Adam has been ill all his life. While his peers take their first steps and utter words, Adamchik is struggling with cerebral palsy. While others learned to hold their heads — Adam struggled with cramps. And the worst part is that the boy is only experiencing all these shocks with his mother, because his dad died in an accident when the boy was only 3 months old.

It all started from a difficult birth. Only on the 4th day, mother and son were discharged home, and already on the 7th day at home, mother noticed that something strange was happening to her Adam: the boy had strange movements, he shook his hand and foot, his face squinted to one side. These were the first cramps of Adam. Then he underwent an ultrasound of the cerebral vessels and was sent to the intensive care unit, and after analysis and examination Adam was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. According to doctors, this is a consequence of a previous intrauterine infection.

In order to maintain Adam’s stable state, the boy’s mother spends 15 thousand UAH on medicines every month. Specialists, fortunately, were able to pick up drugs for cramps, the boy is much better from them now. In the case of Adam, the best treatment for cerebral palsy is systematic rehabilitation. In his 2 years, the boy does not see well, does not hold his head independently, cannot walk. A single mother is not able to pay for new rehabilitation courses, so we appeal to everyone who wants to support the boy: help Adam be healthy!

Thanks to you, we can send the boy to a rehabilitation center!
