We believe in our daughter. 2

"We believe in our daughter and ask you to believe in her too", urges the mother of 3-year-old Aryna. The girl has cerebral palsy and needs rehabilitation. That is why we are starting a fundraiser to pay for her treatment.

"We are a family of displaced persons from the city of Severodonetsk in the Luhansk region. We left our hometown with a suitcase of belongings, a dog, and a cat. We picked up our baby girl in Lviv, where our orphanage had been evacuated. We were the happiest parents until our daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy", the woman recalls.

Aryna's story is not an easy one: the girl was born at 31 weeks weighing 1,380 grams and spent her first day on a ventilator. Almost immediately after her birth, her biological mother abandoned her. Her new family was able to take Aryna from the orphanage just 2.5 months after the start of the full-scale war. At one point, they lost everything, but they were able to gain much more.

Due to her diagnoses, Aryna cannot speak, walk, or sit. Spasticity restricts her movements, and she has difficulty chewing, delayed neuropsychological development, and underdeveloped speech. However, thanks to rehabilitation, Aryna began to crawl and sleep better, became calmer and more attentive, and began to perform tasks better. Continuing treatment is the key to the girl's development, so we urge everyone who cares to support our project. Aryna really needs it!
