Stepan's dream is to walk!

Stepan was born prematurely. The tiny boy weighed less than a kilogram and was not breathing on his own. Together with medics, he fought for his life and suffered pneumonia, convulsions, and respiratory arrest. And only in the third month he finally went home.

Premature birth has caused a number of serious diseases, including cerebral palsy. Accepting the diagnosis of cerebral palsy was difficult for the boy's parents because they always wanted to believe in a miracle. But when Stepan turned one-year-old, they already understood that massages and physical therapy were not enough, and began the difficult path of the boy's recovery.

Now Stepan is four and a half. He visits various rehabilitation centers and regularly works with a correctional teacher and a speech therapist, as well as at home with his mother. He already knows how to sit and get off the sofa independently, and loves to walk with support under the handles. The boy knows colors and numbers and speaks individual words and syllables. Like most children, he is very fond of cakes. He also likes to sing children's songs and swim in the pool.

The parents are doing everything possible so that Stepan learns to sit up and eat on his own. And they dream that their son will start walking. They say that they do not despair. Because there is no time. Unfortunately, only parental enthusiasm is not enough. We aim to collect 24,500 UAH for the boy's rehabilitation. We are sure that Stepan will delight us with his achievements, he just needs a little help!
