Help us make the first steps! 3

Valeria and Denis are twins, and from birth they have been suffering from cerebral palsy. Both of them could not sit on their own, walk... But willpower and constant treatment bring their results, and today these 9-year-old brothers and sister show incredible achievements. And a great merit in this is yours, dear donors!

Lera and Denis are early birds, they were born premature at the 28th week. Cerebral palsy was first found in Denis when he was 1.5 years old, and after 2 months Lera was given the same diagnosis. The twins began to be treated; in 2014, both of them underwent surgery to reduce spasticity on their legs. At 5 years old they already went to kindergarten, then to first grade. In parallel, children continue to systematically undergo rehabilitation courses.

The intelligence of children is preserved, they are very curious and smart. However, they have certain difficulties with walking: although they are already taking their first steps, they are still so insecure. Therefore, interruption of treatment is now impossible.

Therefore, we are beginning to raise funds for a new stage of treatment for twins Valeria and Denis. We are sure that children will be healthy and happy, they just need a little help and support.
