Adult struggle for health

“He is healthy!”, said the neurologist at the examination of 4-month-old Sasha. The boy was born on time, immediately shouted, in 2 months already held the head. Doctors and parents had no reason to worry. But later everything changed. A month later, the boy fell ill with a virus, his temperature rose, which lasted for 5 days. After the disease, his muscle tone increased significantly, the boy began to gain weight poorly. Parents began to sound the alarm: something was wrong with their son! But the tests and tests were normal.

However, at 6 months, Sasha did not sit on his own, then the boy began to actively heal. Many specialized centers, new methods of treatment and special classes at home seemed about to take another course of treatment, and Sasha would become healthy. However, as time went on, the doctors still could not understand what the boy was ill with.

In the end, the doctors diagnosed spasmodic tetraparesis of unspecified origin in Sasha, with which he was diagnosed with a disability. Since then, the boy has been fighting for his health as an adult: not sparing strength and patience. We want to support this family, which all this time has independently dealt with financial difficulties associated with the treatment of the son, so we are starting to raise funds for a new course of treatment for Sasha at the Priorytet Center.

Each of your hryvnia – this is a significant help!
