Let the sun shine for Nelia! Stage 3

It’s so unbearably sad to watch the life of a sunny and cute child from birth being shrouded in darkness of merciless diagnosis. Cerebral palsy. Our Nelia is a charming girl! As a real Sun, she gives her warmth to all around. Her fragile arms are like rays stretching to embrace each person! She is so open to the world, while the world has been answering her only with pain and suffering. Once the sun put a smile upon her face, and we believe it will smile one more time! Thank to you, amound for treatment was collect very fast! Let's help this sunny girl again!

Nelia was born in a close-knit family, her birth was being waited for impatiently. Nobody could have foreseen that terrible strike upon the family that would overshadow the happiness of this long-awaited child coming to this world. Hypoxia obtained due to birth injury, led to the most complex form of cerebral palsy. Low muscle tone does not allow the girl to move freely, speech disorder and delay in intellectual development deprive her of the opportunity to fully interact with the world. Things that are so easily and naturally learned by the usual kiddies: to sit, stand, walk, hold a spoon and to eat, for Nelia are hard, sometimes impossible tasks!

Multiple courses of rehabilitation eased her life only partly. A truly remarkable improvement came only after Nelia had a course of treatment in the clinic of Dr. Bersenev, where even such a terrible diagnosis as cerebral palsy is defied. Now Nelia can move more freely, there is a hope that the girl can learn so many other things in her life and that the usual childish joys will come to make her life similar to other children's life.

Unfortunately, the girl's parents can't afford to continue the course of necessary treatment. But together we can help them! Let's help Nelia – our little sun – to shine even brighter! Let Nelia know how bright and interesting may the world around her be! What colours will brighten up her sunny soul then!
