Let's give Lera a chance. 4

Lerochka is the first, long-awaited and very welcomed child into her family. Her birth was to be a real gift for mom and dad. But, the extremely difficult delivery and helplessness of doctors caused extensive hemorrhage of the child's brain. As a result - hypoxic fasting, convulsive syndrome and the fate of a helpless disabled person in this world. Not wishing to surrender to the diagnosis, the girl's mother entered into an unequal struggle with the doom.

In the life of little Lerochka, there are many things: pain, suffering, endless struggle with cerebral palsy, despair... She has a beautiful mother, Diana, selflessly giving up all her strength to fight for the life of her daughter. But she does not have anything that makes childhood the best, a joyful and carefree period of our life. Not even the first steps, but the first breath, the girl did contrary to the mercilessly unfair, incomprehensible understanding, and for some reason, it was her own test.

Endless courses of treatment by all available means within six years have led to some improvements. But a really noticeable progress was made after Lera had a course of treatment at the clinic of Dr. Bersenev – a place where children with severe illnesses are given a chance for a normal life. With each course, the emotional and physical condition of the girl started to improve.

That's what the little girl's parents say about it: "As a result of the passed courses of treatment Lera's brain epiactivity has greatly improved, decreased spasticity in the arms and legs, strabismus has decreased, facial expressions significantly improved. Also Lerochka began to walk more, speak different words and syllables, her emotional state was improved. At the moment we cannot pay for these courses of treatment because of the difficult financial situation, so we are asking you to help us to pay for these courses, which are so necessary for a small Lera! Thank you very much and God bless you!".
