Get closer to the dream

Veronica has been struggling with her body for seven years! The diagnosis of cerebral palsy does not allow her to live a full life, but it can not break her spirit and aspirations. Veronica purposefully goes to her goal – to get on her feet. "She is a cheerful, sweet, friendly and incredible girl! All rehabilitation specialists who deal with her are proud of her, and people around her admire her sincerity and incredible smile", Mother Olya talks about her daughter.  

The operation is a chance for Veronica to free her legs from spasticity and let them walk!

From birth, Veronica did not know anything that ordinary children can do, but with her desire for a better life, she learned to crawl, sit, move with the help of her mother with a walker, learned to read and count! This year Veronica "goes" to school, she can read, count, writing is very difficult, but despite this she loves to draw, so the girl expresses her feelings. Veronica is very friendly and loves animals endlessly. Life in a wheelchair is limiting, but Veronica still likes to walk on the street with friends, play various intellectual games, draw, write, makes attempts to help in the kitchen. Cheerful, patient, persistent, active, friendly.

Her perseverance and endurance will be the envy of everyone around. I am proud of her ability to enjoy life no matter what. Go through this difficult path with an incredibly charming smile. She needs this operation to enjoy life to the fullest, to be able to spend at least the remnants of her childhood, having the opportunity to be on par with her peers!

We appeal to all those who care to help us realize our dream and give Veronica a chance for a full life without a wheelchair!
