Present Maria to mom!

Masha lives in her own world. Her world is soft and light. Masha likes water. Water covers her skin and her muscles are relaxing. Masha feels safe and in harmony. Masha feels a freedom of movement. In a water, Masha turns in to fish. In a water, Masha can manage her body. Masha smiles and swim, swim, swim. Masha doesn't like closed space.

Masha likes freedom. Masha likes to be outside, despite the weather. Masha likes how the wind plays with her hair, how the sun is gentle, how rain is running down her cheeks, how snow is melting in her hands. She likes to watch kinds in the playground. This is how Masha's world looks like.

Sometimes Masha's world is invaded. Than Masha protests and screams. In the rude outside world, Masha is suffering, she has convulsions, she feels pain and discomfort. Strangers' hands touch her, put needles, force to do exercises and take medication. They want to make Masha the same girl like other girls. Masha herself wants to be like other girls, she just can't say it. She can't express her feelings and thoughts. Other people can't understand Masha. Masha can't understand herself.

But Masha has mother. Mother is not giving up. Again and again she fights for Masha's world to be big, she fights for Masha to be accepted by the world. And mother already succeeded in changing a lot! Masha's muscles tonus decreased, the amount of movements increased. Masha learned how to keep attention. Masha walks! And she is motivated! So there is still a chance.
Mother is trying hard to stay positive and believes in good, but even the strongest women need support!

Help mother to take Masha to another rehabilitation course!
