Support mother's hope!

A young mother finds out that she is pregnant with 'happiness'. All nine months she dreams about it: how 'happiness' will laugh for the first time, how will say the first word. What will be the eyes color? What will it look like? When will do first steps?And then comes the time of birth... premature discharge of amniotic fluid, 17 hours of the hydrous period, weakness of labor, cord entanglement... the heart of the child is not heard... stimulation, extrusion... And happiness is born... Breathless little happiness...

The first months of his life, the happiness named Egor spends in intensive care. None of the doctors believe that Egor will survive... Only mother believes! Damage of central nervous system, intrauterine asphyxia, hemorrhages in the brain, cysts, intrauterine pneumonia. But from the first minutes of life Egor desperately struggles to survive. Due to treatment, doctors and God's will in 2 months MRI of the brain didn't show neither focal pathology, no cysts, and happiness was discharged home.
The joy didn't last long, at 5 months the baby was given a group of disability. On the same day, Egor's father packed his things and left.

But mother did not give up her happiness! And she started to fight for it. Egor is like his mother – he is hard worker with a strong character! He firmly knows that cerebral palsy is not a sentence, but a stubborn day-to-day work and challenge. He knows from the birth that he must work hard, constantly overcoming the pain, fears and judging glances of others. And he has achieved amazing results: he walks on his own! Not very good yet, but every step is a small victory. Egor studies in school following general program! Despite it is specialized school for children with musculoskeletal disorders. For the general education system he still remains a child with special needs.

At home in Donetsk was left all the equipment, books, everything, what was arranged by the mother for constant rehabilitation of the boy. To take it out is unrealistic, so they have to start everything from scratch. The war changes everyone's life, without taking into account diagnoses and circumstances. Egor still needs regular rehabilitation courses according to the methods of the Polish clinic "Euromed", which is now successfully used by the Ukrainian center "Innovo".

Egor's mother appeals to each of us: "We really hope that you will help us to pay for the so much needed rehabilitation course in "Innovo". Starting from the January treatment will become more expensive. I understand that very little time is left, but on the New Year Eve, I want to believe in miracles. I sincerely hope that there are good wizards who will help us to implement our plans and raise the necessary amount in a short time".
