      Sonya is currently still attending school, and for the summer her mum has enrolled her at another educational establishment, where a special development and learning programme is in place. The family hopes that these sessions will yield positive results. If this proves to be the case, the girl will continue to attend this establishment, as her progress and well-being are the most important things.
      Recently, things have been difficult for Sonya’s family. Due to sudden changes in the weather, the child suddenly fell ill. She is currently undergoing treatment and taking the necessary medication. There are already some signs of improvement: the number of uncontrolled movements in her arms and legs has decreased. But they haven’t lost hope and continue to fight for her well-being.
      The medical examination brought serious news — doctors have diagnosed Sofiika with grade 4 scoliosis. A consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon at the OKHMATDIT hospital is forthcoming, as the girl is scheduled to undergo surgery. The family is also eagerly awaiting the results of genetic testing, which will be available in two months’ time. 
      The Tarasenko family would like to thank everyone from the bottom of their hearts for supporting them during this difficult time. It is thanks to the kindness of caring people that they have managed to raise funds for these vital medical tests. Her mum, Iryna, writes: “May all the kindness you show be returned to you a hundredfold!”
