Important small steps. 3

The fact that Sasha had cerebral palsy did not immediately become clear. The girl was born ahead of schedule, cesarean. The condition of the crumbs was severe, so she was put in intensive care under the ventilator, where Sasha stayed for 2 and a half months. Then the daughter and mother were discharged home, and only at 9 months old the doctors diagnosed cerebral palsy.

Since then, their life has turned into a constant race "hospital-house-hospital", where Sasha’s healthy childhood was at stake. There were many on the way of the girl: various treatment methods, rehabilitation courses, hippotherapy, acupuncture and even surgery. And all this was not in vain: Sasha began to catch up a little with her peers. At first she learned to sit, then stand at the support, later - walk in walkers, then - holding her hand, and, finally, we believe that she will definitely take her first confident independent steps.

Sasha will soon turn 10 years old, she is a very active and persistent girl. She tries to overcome her illness and works up a sweat, if only she would feel better. Now the girl’s tone has already decreased, she has become better at standing and maintaining good balance, while walking with support, she raises her knees better.

With small steps, Sasha goes to her goal, but she cannot do without us. Let's support her!

Earlier at UBB, we have already collected funds from Sasha.
