Tina Shpatakovskaia is 11 years old, she was born in hypoxia and as a result of oxygen deficiency she had a central nervous system damage. Doctors saved her life at the emergency ward, but it was impossible to avoid consequences of hypoxia. Later she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis. As of today, Tina can’t walk, stand, sit or stand up without side assistance, she can eat and drink with partial help, get dressed only with the side assistance. Since her very birth and till this day her life means regular rehabilitations, daily affords and trainings she got really tired of. But she understands that she has no other way and she needs to continue working hard.

Tina is all-round and creative personality. She recently started her study at "Logika" programming school. She really likes learning how to make cartoons and create robots. She made new friends, cheerful and clever kids who try to help her in any possible way when she can’t cope with something. Tina is waiting for each class with impatience. Besides, she continues to draw. She has new works in her collection. Now she draws clothes for her dolls, mostly dresses. Then she and her mother apply those drawings to cloth, cut and make up dresses.
