Help me break free from the captivity of silence

Makar is only two years old. He loves to look at а ball, touch his mother's hands and listen to quiet lullabies. But in response – silence. No "mummy", no "give me", not even simple babbling. Until nine months old, everything was like most babies: first sounds, smiles, curiosity about the world. And then there was a sharp "setback" – Makar fell silent. The sounds disappeared, replaced by constant crying and anxiety. Doctors diagnosed him with a nervous system disorder (this means that the child's brain does not process signals correctly: sound, touch, even food). That is why Makar does not respond to his name – he is not ignoring it, he simply cannot "hear" it with his brain. His nervous system perceives a piece of food as a danger – the boy eats only puree. He is overly emotional, quickly exhausted, and avoids contact. For him, the world is a maze of incomprehensible sensations.

Makar is only two years old. This is the golden age when a child's brain can still be "reprogrammed". His parents have already seen the first signs of progress: after a course of massage, he has become more attentive, his gaze has begun to focus more often on toys and objects in the surrounding world, and he maintains eye contact for longer. There is a fragile hope that one day he will not just look at the ball, but will run after it across the field, laughing out loud. But for this to become a reality, Makar needs intensive professional rehabilitation at the Koziavkin Clinic. This is a chance to teach his brain to "hear" the world, to eat without fear, and finally to speak. It is a bridge over the abyss between painful silence and the long-awaited "mama".

Makar is not a "difficult" patient. He is a child who is stuck in silence and begs for help with his eyes. His family cannot afford the cost of treatment on their own. Your support means speech therapy sessions, sensory therapy, and a chance for full development. Please be a part of his journey. Give Makar a chance to find his voice. Even a little help is the beginning of a great future.
