I love you mom!

"I love you, Mom!". These are the words that every mother wants to hear from her child. Especially when he is first and so long-awaited. A wonderful girl Zhenia is five years old. She is very kind, cheerful and sunny. Everyone loves her, everyone expects and dreams Zhenechka will start to walk and talk. After all, outwardly she is no different from ordinary children. And at first glance, it is very difficult to distinguish her "special" from a healthy child. And all because of her Cerebral Palsy. 

Her unhappy diagnosis, she received exactly on July 1, 2014, when she turned one year old. Here such gift has presented life to the Zhenia on a birthday. There were many tears, misunderstandings, resentment, and anger. And two questions: why exactly and for what? But not finding an answer to these questions, the family of Zhenia took themself in hand and it was then the fight began!

At first was rehabilitation in a center in Donetsk, then Odessa (Hadzhibey), Kiev (Bersenev Clinic), Kiev (Center for Defectology and Speech Therapy), Truskavets (Kozyavkin Clinic). There were many procedures, expensive medications, and injections. And most importantly, the efforts were not wasted. At first, Zhenia began to hold her head, then learned to sit on her own, in three and a half years she was able to crawl. And today she is five and Zhenia tries to walk, holding the hand of an adult.

Slowly she goes to her recovery. But the closer to the goal, the more expensive is the treatment. Fortunately, there are people ready to help, and we ask those who are not indifferent to help Zhenia in her difficult struggle on the road to recovery.
