Yan is three and a half years old and needs support to sit properly and without pain. Due to a severe prenatal stroke, complicated birth, and long months in the hospital, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and blindness. Every day he undergoes physical therapy, takes medication, and needs a special orthopedic chair to strengthen his muscles, improve posture, and make life easier.
Yan’s mother had a healthy pregnancy, but war, stress, and a difficult journey home caused a prenatal stroke. A massive brain hemorrhage required an emergency C-section. After birth, Yan underwent four surgeries in a year, countless IV treatments, exams, and tube feeding. Only after shunting did he start recovering slowly, but severe seizures began, making him like a "fabric doll", with hormone therapy and medications becoming his daily life.
As a result, he now has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and blindness. Despite all difficulties, Yan has learned to eat without a feeding tube, hold his head, and sit with support. Each day he fights to develop movement, and a special orthopedic chair will help strengthen his body, reduce spasticity, prevent deformities, and make daily life easier. Your help will give Yan a chance for a comfortable and active childhood, supporting his development and independence. Please support our project and help this little hero move forward! 💕
