Twins – Hope is still there

Two little boys, Igor and Maksim, need your help. They are three-year-old twins, unfortunately suffering from infantile cerebral palsy. The treatment at a recovery center has led to some improvements, but to be really effective, such treatment should be taken on a regular basis. The treatment is very expensive and the boys' parents can't afford it.

Just to think of it – a young couple who wanted children so much. When they learned that they are expecting twins, The Gudzmans were so happy!

But their happiness turned into grief and despair. Because of preterm delivery, the children were born in critical condition. They could not breathe. For 21 days they were on a mechanical ventilator and they survived severe hemorrhages. Of course, all this affected their health. As a result, they were diagnosed with infantile cerebral palsy! The Gudzmans had to summon all courage, win against the disease and live with it. Today, Igor and Maksim are 3 years old, and yet they can't walk without assistance and need a continuous treatment. Recently, they have taken a rehabilitation course in the International Clinic of Rehabilitation in Truskavets. The therapy has shown excellent results! But to achieve more, the course should be taken regularly.

The boys' mother, Maria, can't work, as she has to be with them all the time. Moreover, the boys need a lot of specifics. Unfortunately, even modern medicine can't fully curethe disease, but it can definitely make the boys feel better. The Gudzmans ask each and every one of us to help and collect 35,262 hryvnas for the treatment at the International Clinic of Rehabilitation.
