Surgery can give Volodymyr his movement back

Volodymyr is only 15, but the past few months have been a true ordeal. A boy who loves basketball, motorcycles, and has helped raise his younger brother and sister since childhood, he suddenly found himself on the brink of disability. A rapid spinal pathology twisted his body in a matter of months, causing unbearable pain. When Volodya’s leg began to fail, doctors delivered a verdict: there was no more time to wait.

A pinched nerve and displaced vertebrae threatened irreversible damage to his internal organs. The situation became critical. His family, from a small village where only the father works as a builder while the mother cares for the younger children, was in despair – they had no funds for the expensive spinal stabilization plates.

To save the boy, the surgery was performed urgently – on a promise of deferred payment. The supplier provided the necessary materials in advance so that doctors could get Volodya back on his feet in time.

On January 14, Volodya underwent surgery in Lviv. It was the beginning of a new life. Now, the boy is on a difficult path to recovery: relearning his first steps, doing exercises, and dreaming of the day he can take off his brace and return to his friends at school. For now, he is homeschooled, and the pain in his leg still lingers as a reminder of what he endured.

On March 10, Volodya will turn 16. Usually, a teenager his age dreams of new sneakers, a cool helmet, or a leather jacket. But as the eldest brother in a large family, Volodya grew up fast. His only birthday wish is to pay for his treatment.

We need to raise 106,000 UAH to cover the bill for the plates already installed. For a family that counts every penny, this amount is astronomical. But for us, it’s an opportunity to lend a helping hand and thank the suppliers who believed in kindness.

Any contribution is a gift for Volodya’s 16th birthday. It’s his chance to run again, play basketball, and live without pain.

Support Volodya! Let’s restore the boy’s future together!
