I believe that I will be able to walk! 7

It is the seventh time when little Tina's family seeks the assistance of UBB donors. Tina was born in hypoxia with the weight of 1100 g and spent 2.5 months in pathology unit of Odessa Regional Children's Hospital. For a long time, the child was fed through the tube only and got intensive medication. When Tina was five months old she was diagnosed with ICP and spastic quadriparesis. Tina is almost 9 years old now, but this little girl has already suffered a lot of pain and exhausting exercises.

She has undergone 15 intensive neurophysiological after-treatment sessions in the International Clinic of Rehabilitation Kozyavkin Method LLC, 15 sessions in "Maybuntie" ("The Fututre") Children's Rehabilitation Center, 1 course in Khadzhibey Health Center and 2 courses in Tomatis-Kyiv Specialized Center. In June 2017 the child was provided OP treatment according to Ulzibat method (muscular scarring discussion).

And we must admit that the treatment yields positive results. Now Tina quite confidently crawls, sits on the chair without feet support, she holds the head in sitting position, she is able to turn over from back to belly, to descent more on foot in standing position and while walking with support. Thanks to the treatment given, the muscle tone in the limbs decreased, the volume of active and passive movements increased, and blood supply to the limbs improved (they became warmer). Little Tina became more active, motivated and attentive.

Her parents want to see their daughter healthy. To see how she walks without assistance, plays with other children on the playground and does her school activities. Tina is a very diligent and purposeful child. After the birth of her brother the little girl began to be even more willing-minded and she wants to achieve good results. For September 2019, Tina is registered for the next course of rehabilitation treatment at the Kozyavkin Clinic, which costs UAH 12 940. Due to constant money troubles, the girl's parents are not able to pay for their daughter's rehabilitation treatment course and they cordially ask all concerned to help them in fulfilling their dream – to put their daughter on her feet.
