Let's not leave Misha alone with SMA. 3

Mykhailo is twelve now. Yes, that's him, sitting in a wheelchair. After all, for ten years out of these twelve, the boy, together with his parents, have been struggling with the terrible illness. This disease is called SMA – spinal muscular atrophy. The dangerous genetic disease does not allow the child to move independently, with his own legs. Despite this, the boy attends school and has many friends at school and outside of it. The family is trying to do everything in their power to keep Misha healthy. However, medications that could help has appeared abroad in 2017, and, unfortunately, are not registered in Ukraine yet. And this gives even more pain to parents.

But the ray of hope appeared for the boy and his family one time. Dr. Bersenev’s clinic helps in Kyiv. Injection procedures into the nerve endings stimulate the muscles and prevent the disease from developing further.

But Mykhailo’s family is low-income and lives in a countryside. Eeven just coming to the capital is a big financial burden for them. Misha can’t skip courses of treatment, because it’s the only thing that prevents the disease from progressing! Here the war also made its sad adjustments.

Let's help Misha's family! Let's give the child a chance for a better future!
