He dreams of becoming an athlete above all else. Though for him any physical activity is not a simple matter... The hands on the feet of the guy diminish the tension, the muscles do not grow, and the bones of the skeleton grow. This is the cause of the daily unbearable pain of the boy. Good, sensitive, gentle boy Misha – a nurse at a boarding school. He has cerebral palsy and spastic diplegia. Misha loves sports, he throws a spear, pushes the kernel. It is physical achievements that he wants to prove to everyone and himself that he is healthy.

Doctors, whom we showed Misha, in one voice confirm: it is very promising. However, in order to keep his arms and legs from tension, the boy needs systemic rehab. Thanks to the UBB donors in the period from December 10 to December 19, 2018, Misha was provided with rehabilitation services at RC "Free Movement". Namely the consultation of a neurologist, a physician with exercise therapy, a physiotherapist.

Every day the boy was undergoing healing massage, developing joints, waxing, mud applications, kinesiotherapy (therapeutic gymnastics), hanging therapy, exercises, hydromassage baths. Misha was also engaged in the pool. In the first rehabilitation day, Mikhail sat down without load 64 times for two approaches. Then he worked 8 days with a load of 3-5 kg and for 9 days squatted already 160 times in two approaches! During the last 10 days of rehabilitation, loads were removed. Result – 211 times! In addition, an increase in the angle of development of the legs from 25 to 50 degrees was achieved, and the angle of extension in the left knee joint from 110 to 135. All these achievements made it easier for Michael to walk, now his knee does not interfere with each other. Earlier, knees beat each other, rubbed, and now it is not.

Although we cannot post detailed information about the child, such as surname, date and place of birth, etc., we are confident that the child needs help. Personally familiar with Misha, organized a survey for him, together with the followers, reviewed all the necessary medical specialists. Dialogues were held with doctors on the subject of child's treatment and rehabilitation.

According to Articles 226 and 229 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the personal data of a child from an orphanage system should be kept secret and should not be published. Article 168 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine specifies sanctions for the publication of personal data of a child. But according to the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 905 dated 08.10.2008, paragraphs 46 and 47 allow the placement of a photograph, name and status of the child. For today, Misha needs to undergo another intensive rehabilitation in RC "Free Movement" cost 13 900 UAH.

With your support, we hope that this rehab will happen. Because it is a step to the health and independence of the boy.
