The first step in 8 years. 2

Little Vlada was born prematurely, weighing only 1 kg 320 grams with severe health problems. After 5 months, doctors diagnosed cerebral palsy. A daughter is the only treasure of single mother, and there is no help waiting from except grandmother and caring people. They have only a year to put the girl on her feet.

Vladyslava fights for a normal full life from her birth. She is well developed, has adequate emotions, studies with pleasure at home on the individual program, loves to draw and sculpt. But the disease took the opportunity her to move freely, and thus develop physically. In addition, inexperienced prosthetists added another problem. They chose the badly matched orthoses, as a result Vlada's knee joints were distorted and now there is another necessity to correct the consequences of their negligence.
The only way - constantly undergo rehabilitation and other procedures that make back muscles stronger and give the girl a chance in the future to make a step on her own. The mother who lives on state aid does not have enough money for living costs, let alone expensive rehabilitation.

Currently, Vlada must be held in August a course of rehabilitation (Feldenkraiz' method) that helps restore muscle sensitivity of a child. In October, doctors recommend undergoing a course of treatment in International Clinic of Rehabilitation (method of prof. Kozyavkin) in Truskavets. In order to receive positive results, is also needed constantly practice at home. Suit-helix increases the effectiveness of therapeutic exercises and accelerates the development of motor functions. As a single mother, she does not have such funds. This girl could have a bright future, and she could go in life on her own legs. But she needs help to make the first step.

Earlier UBB has collected funds for Vladochka. To see the previous project you can follow the link.
