Walking legs on the track

Dasha Kovalenko from Kryvyi Rih is 14 years old and struggling with cerebral palsy. After extensive rehabilitation she learned to walk holding only one hand! Anyone familiar with cerebral palsy, understands that there is such an achievement. But the rapid growth of the organism undermined the success of the Dasha. Changed the position of the knees and feet, and the girl was back in a wheelchair. To Dasha stood on his feet, needed surgery for installation of implants in the foot.

An inspection in Kharkov Institute of the name Sitenko showed a necessity at once three operations. Two of them, on the thigh and knees done and feet immediately became smoother. But there the most expensive operation - on the feet. After that the girl can learn to walk. Without surgery problems with each month increase.

Dasha fully preserved intellect, she is studying at home, but in the General education curriculum. Her favorite subject is music. Dasha has a synthesizer, and music teacher for several years was engaged with the girl singing at her home. This year a subject of a ninth-grader is no more and the mother promises to find her a teacher as soon as financially able.

But at first they need to make the last and very expensive operation. Only implants will cost at UAH14 900. Mother Lyudmila brings up Dasha alone, without her husband. Without our support family will not manage in any way! This sum of money can be collected very quickly, if many people will help. We ask you to help all concerned!
