Naughty legs of little Andryusha

The son of the ATO participant Andrii Fikert needs our support, that’s why his mother needs a helping shoulder. The boy has lots of defects – symptomatic epilepsy, MR symptoms of closed lip based in the right hemisphere, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, double clubfoot on both feet.His father who took part in warfare left the family when finding out Andrii’s illness; he doesn’t take an interest in a child’s fate and doesn’t give any support.

The kid’s legs were being plastered from the second week of life. For a long time the child wore plaster boots; however, it hasn’t yielded any good results. Andrey underwent two surgeries after which epileptic seizures began to progress. 

His mother is turning to medical institutions for two years to put her baby on his feet. She wants a son could live a full life. Besides the kid can’t walk, a considerable developmental lag became apparent. Effective treatment and long rehabilitation courses are needed. It’s beyond the mother’s power to struggle for Andreyko’s health, as she rears three children without any assistance. Unfortunately, she can’t get a job as she is constantly with him. The child may have an epileptic seizure, so immediate aid is needed at any instant.

The boy needs the right aid from such specialists as a speech therapist, psychologist, podiatrist. It costs a lot of money which the large family doesn’t have. So, the kid’s mother pins her hopes on caring people and specialists of Beresnev clinic.
