Mother of Lera and Denys visited Odesa Regional Charitable Foundation of Rehabilitation "Future" with her children, they are frequent guests of the International Clinic of Rehabilitation in Truskavets. In December 2014 in Kharkiv Institute of Spine and Joint kids had surgery on the legs to relieve spasticity, and now you can not stop there. The family hopes to support people who care, because they do not personally handle.

Doctors say that children are promising, as their intelligence is saved. Lera and Denys are very inquisitive kids, they love to play together, play puzzle games, and paint. But they are not capable to walk yet.

Mom already financially exhausted and unable to pay for rehabilitation courses every 3 months for two children. However, it is of continuous treatment without the Lerochka and Denys will never be able to make their first steps.
