Rehab is my only way out

Carolina was born at the 41st week of pregnancy. The parents were looking forward to the appearance of their daughter and were preparing for a happy fatherhood, but the birth was very difficult... Even then, in the maternity hospital, my mother had a bad feeling, but the doctors assured that everything was fine with the child, and they were discharged home on the third day.

A new life began at home: the first neurologists, the first examinations, the first prescribed medications and attacks with loss of consciousness. After MRI, it became clear that the path of this family would be difficult and long: when the girl was 7 months old, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis, secondary microcephaly, all types of developmental delays, bulbar syndrome and symptomatic epilepsy.

Karolina is a very purposeful girl, for 6 years she went through a lot of classes and achieved excellent results. All this time, the girl has been on medication for epilepsy. In 2019, the girl suffered a dislocation of the hip joint and underwent surgery. It lasted more than seven hours, after which Karolina diligently underwent rehabilitation. Unfortunately, despite all the efforts of doctors and rehabilitation therapists, it was not possible to maintain the correct functioning of muscles and joints. Therefore, now the girl has problems with her knee.

Recently, Karolina underwent a second operation: the plate and spokes were removed, and punctures were made under the knees. However, it did not give the desired results either. Now the girl has only one way out: high-quality rehabilitation and physiotherapy exercises. However, the parents, who have been constantly treating their daughter for 6 years, do not have enough funds for the much-needed rehabilitation. Support Karolina, because each of your hryvnias will help the girl get to a specialized center for treatment!
