Valeria is a girl who was admitted to the intensive care unit after birth, suffered a brain hemorrhage and has been fighting for her life ever since. The baby spent 2 weeks in the intensive care unit: 7 days under a ventilator, and another 7 days in the pathology department. Valeria was fed through a tube, but her parents made every effort to teach their daughter to eat from a bottle. The girl was discharged home when she turned one month old.

The family hoped that everything would be fine at home. However, at the age of 4 months, the parents began to notice that something was wrong with Valeria. The girl could not hold her head and did not turn over, so doctors advised her to attend massages. Unfortunately, they did not bring any results, so Valeria started visiting rehabilitation centers. However, at the age of 3, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, double hemiplegia, level IV motor disorders, cognitive deficiency and was assigned a subgroup A disability.



Now Valeria is 12 years old. She understands everything she is told, she tries to answer something herself, but these are simple words, such as "yes", "no", "give", "mom", "Lelya". But the girl still does not sit or stand on her own, and holds her head uncertainly.

"Every day we fight with our daughter for her first steps. She loves music, taking pictures, walking, books and various educational games. Our baby needs constant rehabilitation, please help us with this," says Valeria's mother and asks for support with a new rehabilitation course.
