Sashko lives thanks to medicine

Four-year-old Sashko has been suffering from epileptic seizures since he was eight months old. He cannot sit on his own, does not hold his head and does not respond to anything. Diagnosis of cerebral palsy in a boy since birth. Sashko spent the first six months of his life in the intensive care and pathology department. The child just lies down and is completely dependent on the mother. Instead of friends and childhood, Sasha has hospital beds, tests and injections. A mandatory visit to the doctor every month, a two-week stay in the hospital ward every six months. And this is if there are no complications.

Sashka's family pays for the medicine and examination on their own. This family consists of mom, dad Sashka, and his 16-year-old daughter. The older sister, a college student, loves her brother very much and feels his pain. They live in a small village in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Only dad works in the family, he is a storekeeper at a dairy. Mom is forced to be near Sasha all the time. There is barely enough money to live on, because Sashka's treatment, examinations and tests require more than the family can provide. But parents do not lose hope and hope for the best. The child needs help with treatment.
