Let’s Perform a Miracle for Darynka!

Every day, every minute, each one of us is able to stand, walk, sit, turn back, speak and doesn't find in these actions anything special. Learning how to hold a spoon, eat and drink yourself for an ordinary child seems easy and timely. But kids with CP are gaining these skills with tremendous efforts and only after regular and constant rehabilitation treatment. Darynka also gets these skills only after sustained exercises. And the ability to walk independently is a real miracle for Darynka and her family that they are so striving to gain!

Daryna’s story has a lot in common with dozens of similar stories of children with cerebral palsy. The girl was born at seven month. Since her birth Darynka is used to endure pain, probably that is why she almost never cries. She tolerates because she feels and knows that her family and doctors are trying to help her, raise her to her feet.

Girl's mother admits that only one rehabilitation course has brought a positive result (in the International Clinic of Rehabilitation in Truskavets) which girl passed in 2012. Darynka came back with new skills: she could stand without support and drink from a cup. Doctors convince her mother that it is necessary to consolidate new skills. For this reason Daryna’s family is trying to do everything in order to undergo rehabilitation regularly. But for this family, where father is the only working person, it is extremely expensive.

Family uses every opportunity to find funds for Daryna’s treatment and rehabilitation. Doctors constantly emphasize the fact that all their work may be wasted if the parents are not fighting for their child and not paying enough attention to her. People that lend a helping hand are of the same opinion. They are very sympathetic and ready to help, but only if the parents are going forward. At one time Daryna’s mother mastered Internet in order to be able to raise funds in social networks. Daryna’s Group brings together many benevolent people who are sincerely worried about the girl.

Daryna’s parents are dreaming that the girl will be able to walk independently without support. It is even hard to imagine how much effort they make for it. With faith in her daughter mother says: "Our Darynka can walk by herself. Doctors also say so, but the miracle does not happen. Please Help Us to Make this Miracle!”
