Epilepsy is not a sentence! 4

Polina is a small girl who dreams about walking. Everyday she tried to get up from the sofa and to walk. But as a result she falls down and get bruisers on her cheeks. But she doesn’t get afraid, she desperately wants and tries to stand up and to help mother, to show her doll or just to kiss. Polina is stopped by attacks, which every next time are stronger, the baby is frightened and it is difficult to achieve a dream.

The dream of the elder sister to take the baby from the kindergarden. The dream of mom and dad to take Polina to school. All dreams collapsed when Polina was 3 months old, when the baby stopped breathing during the walk and turned blue. Nights in intensive care, sleepless nights of doctors, the prayers of parents gave a chance for life. But development is stopped and with each bout, dreams are getting more and more far.

How many words of consolation has the family heard: “She will not walk”, “She has no intellect”, “And what do you want from her?”. But parents do not stop and seek salvation, the opportunity to put Polina on her feet, teach her to speak, read and write, draw and to find herself in this world.

UBB donors are already familiar with Polina and her family. Thanks to your help, Polina has noticeable progress and chances for the future. Help the baby to get on the next course of rehabilitation.
