Help Ivanna stand on her own feet

Little Ivanka, which is 4, started fighting for her life before she way even born (Her sister died unborn). After her birth, the girl starting fighting with a serious disease. Infantile cerebral paralysis doesn’t let her live a normal life. That is why Ivanka needs rehabilitation courses every two-three months to learn how to walk. And only you can help to make her dreams come true!

Ivanka is 4 now, but she can already count, knows the alphabet, and reads a little bit… The only thing she can’t do is to walk. Ivanka fights with her illness every day: does a gymnastic exercise despite the pain, swims with her mother to relax the muscles. She needs to go to International rehabilitation clinics every 2-3 months. Courses of rehabilitation in these clinics help the most. After the 8th course she is able to sit, roll over, crawl, and do a couple of steps with assistance.

Ivanka is very happy about every step she makes. All this amazing progress may be lost if she stops attending the courses in clinics. To further treatment of Ivanka she needs to visit rehabilitation courses, but the family has no funds for it.

Let’s help Ivanka reach her dream to walk and give her a chance to be a happy and healthy child.
