Let's help Zhenia move on!

Zhenia is the first child in his family. No one could even imagine that this little boy would start his life from fighting for it. He was born in serious condition and was immediately transferred to the newborn intensive care unit and placed on a breathing machine. The forecasts were bad, but parents did not lose faith. And after a month of fighting for his life, Zhenia was discharged home. Parents realize that their son should undergo a lot of rehabilitation courses. But this is not the scariest thing. Absence of financial possibility to take these courses regularly – this is what they are afraid of.

Zhenia's mother said: "Every day we fight in order our son could live a full life. Pills, injections, rehabilitation centers. We don’t give up. Despite the diagnosis, doctors assess him as a promising and clever child. It is very hard to look at how your child tries to pick up a toy and cannot do that."

More than half of a year have passed since the boy was diagnosed with his disease. But during this time Zhenia together with his parents has done a big job and has some successes. He can already sit without support up to 4 minutes, stand on legs with support and near the wall without support, make different sounds and noises. After the course of Cerebrocurin injections he started to move toys and objects that are around him with his left hand. This is a big success and happiness for his family. After rehabilitation course in Truskavets Zhenia has shown great results. He started to stand on both feet and began to make steps with someone's support. That is why doctors recommend to undergo more courses of rehabilitation.

Zhenia and his parents are not going to stop on these achievements. They appeal to all not indifferent people for help. Father is the only working member in their family. He is manager and his salary is 2 000 UAH. Zhenia's mother is in maternity leave. Boy's family is unable to pay for the costly rehabilitation and medication. Let's help this boy together!
