A disease that takes away the ability to move

Danil developed like all children – in time he began to sit, walk, run. No one could have thought that the child was ill. Later, Danya began to fall often, and when he fell, it became increasingly difficult to rise. Doctors as one said that everything was fine with the child, and the parents were inventing something for themselves. When the boy went to first grade, the disease began to progress rapidly, his legs began to ache unbearably, and his muscle weakness increased. Then everything was like hell, doctors, consultations, a terrible diagnosis, like thunder in the clear sky. Duchenne's progressive muscular dystrophy is one of the most serious malignant pathologies in children, and this diagnosis has divided family life into before and after.

Simply put, in this disease, the muscles gradually atrophy and begin to fail from the bottom up. At first, the boys often fall, then stop walking, then the disease picks up – first you can not wear a T-shirt, then brush your teeth and lift a spoon to your mouth, then refuse respiratory and heart muscle. There is no treatment, only maintenance therapy…

Now Danil is 12 years old, he can not walks. The boy knows about his illness, but does not despair. He is very responsible, organizes the whole family. And he is very attentive, from his watchful eyes can not hide, will always notice when mom is sad.

Danil studies very well, loves history, plays chess, and is also interested in football. When he was still walking well, his friends took him to the game, now it is impossible. Sometimes he and his mother go to Metalist Stadium, but it becomes more and more difficult. The boy is growing, the disease is progressing. The family lives on the 5th floor of a house without an elevator. In order to go somewhere with the child, the mother is forced to carry and carry her son and wheelchair on her own. So more and more often Danya stays at home, less often sees friends. This child has far fewer simple human joys than other people, so the mother tries to diversify his life.

The boy desperately needs a stair lift, so as not to depend on anyone and leave the house where and when needed. The family cannot buy it on their own. Your support can make Daniel's life more fulfilling and fulfilling. We hope for your sensitive hearts and support!
