Anatoliy needs to undergo rehabilitation, which costs 50,000 UAH, so that he can acquire the skills that are common to children.

The boy was born with an abnormality in both eyes: he had fusion of the cornea with the iris and corneal opacities in both eyes. So from the first days of his life, we had to save his eyesight.

The first year of his life Anatoliy was blind. At the age of 1, he underwent a donor corneal transplant of the right eye, and at the age of one and a half - a corneal transplant of the left eye. After extremely complicated surgeries, the boy began to see, not clearly, but to see. It is because of the lack of vision from birth that Tolik has a long delay in calendar development. The boy began to hold his head confidently at 9 months, sit independently at one and a half years, stand on his feet at 2 years, take independent steps at 3.3 years, and walk confidently at 5 years. The boy said his first word “mama” at the age of 2. Each skill was developed through constant training and rehabilitation to catch up with what was lost and gain new ones.

Now the child is oriented in space, but his coordination is still poor. Unfortunately, at the age of 7, Anatoliy still does not speak, but he understands everything. The little seven-year-old hero has undergone more than 30 general anesthetics to restore and preserve his vision.

In June last year, the boy underwent a second donor corneal transplant in his right eye to improve his vision (the previous implant had become cloudy). The operation was successful, but less than a month later, due to poor spatial coordination, the operated eye was injured. In the struggle to preserve the right eye as an organ, problems with the left eye (the only sighted one, which also has a donor cornea and artificial lens) began to occur in parallel. So in December 2023, Tolik underwent an urgent operation for secondary subcompensated glaucoma of the left eye. Over time, subatrophy of the right eye began to develop. It is dying. It is much smaller in size and has lost its tone, so the right eye needs to be removed. Then prosthetics of the right eye... These are also funds that the family lacks.

Despite the problems with his vision and constant ophthalmic treatment, Anatoliy also needs to undergo rehabilitation in order not to lose the positive dynamics of the previously developed training. His further development, socialization and self-care ability depend on these classes. Let's help Tolik with his rehabilitation!
