Help Elia to leave bed!

Aelita is a talented, cheerful and lively 13-year-old girl. However, there is a slight hitch: Aelita can't walk and can't take care of herself – she has cerebral spastic infantile paralysis, and she struggles with the illness all her life. She needs to finish the courses of rehabilitation in Kozyavkin's clinic in Truskavets that has to improve her health condition considerably. The clinic agreed to take the girl for treatment after the advance payment. But now it's necessary to pay the bill on treatment completely. For this purpose 6 860 UAH are needed, however for Aelita’s parents it's the very huge amount of money. Help the little girl get on feet at last!

Elia studies at home in the 8th form, visits singing club in the local center of art, plays sports for people in wheelchairs – Paralympic Bocce. She is the participant of many vocal competitions and the Paralympic Boccе championships of Ukraine. Most of all Aelita likes to communicate with her peers and friends.

Aelita's family during 13 years makes all efforts to get her on feet: some difficult operations at the Sitenko's Kharkiv institute, a set of courses of treatment and rehabilitation throughout Ukraine, daily hours-long recovery occupations at home took the definitive effect, because the main thing is not to give up, and Aelita believes that once she will be able to do everything!

Her younger brother, Gosha, loves his little sister very much and tries to involve her in his games all the time, but, unfortunately, she can't even leave bed.

"Since Aelita’s birth we fight against this horrible disease, - Aelita's mother Roxana says. Continued treatment, procedures and rehabilitation courses – it's difficult to imagine, how much my daughter suffered on her way of fighting against this cruel disease, and how much she still has to suffer. But she doesn't give up, she decently and bravely sets her teeth. All our family believe that once Aelita will get on feet. I think it will be the happiest moment in my life!".

Let’s help Aelita get on feet and feel this world such as we do it!
