Help Dasha get rid of suffering

5-year old Dasha looks serious, unsmiling. She even cannot hold a toy in the hands. The reason is cerebral palsy and double hemiplegia. And these two diagnoses caused psychomotor retardation. The large gray eyes – no pain, no question - for what reason do I suffer? But this question is often asked by her mother. The family has been waiting for children for as long as 13 years! Maybe it's because of unlucky number: the twin Sasha is all right and Dasha in her five does not walk, can neither sit, nor talk… She cannot eat or pick up a toy – the tone in the hands doesn’t allow her to do that.

Every 3-4 months Dasha takes regular courses in different rehabilitation centers and expensive medical treatment. The names of hospitals, cities, drugs change; a speech therapist is working with her. At the moment the child is undergoing treatment at the clinic of Dr.V.Bersenev. Of course, the girl's condition has improved – now she is able to pronounce some words. And her back has become straighter. Dasha is trying to make her own steps. But her legs still stagger, and she falls. She cannot serve herself and cannot do without a wheelchair.

And so little time is left before the school starts! Her mom really wants Dasha to walk and talk to all the kids. Doctors say that the girl is promising. And if the doctors give the chance that she can have a full life, then it is necessary to take advantage of this. Let’s help Dasha not to miss this chance! Her family believes that the world is not without good people!
