Roma cannot go on without treatment. 3

Last September, thanks to kind-hearted people, Roma could go to the clinic for rehabilitation. And in October the boy made his first independent steps – without support! Then he received more medication and, of course, did everyday exercises with his parents. However, now it is not enough: the boy’s hand and leg are still not working well. One more rehabilitation cycle is needed at the clinic under the supervision of professionals but the parents are not able to pay for it.

After the boy was born, he was operated on for hydrocephalus. However, complications caused by the disease had already influenced little Roman’s development. His parents are actively engaged in rehabilitation: medicines, massages, daily exercises. Their work has given good results. Now Roma explores the world with inspiration, learns poetry by heart and even tries to dance – does his best to catch up on what he has lost. For his efforts not to be in vain, an additional rehabilitation cycle is required.
