All will be good. 2017

"The new year 2017 has begun. During the holidays all the parents' prayers, thoughts, hopes and most desired dreams are connected with the improvement of health of our only five year old daughter Katyusha. Since her very birth we have been putting all our efforts, strength and health to the fight against the cerebral palsy diagnosis.

Last year we went through three courses of intensive neurophysiological rehabilitation in the International clinic of rehabilitative treatment in Truskavets, a course of complex rehabilitation in the International children's medical center "Skifos" in Skadovsk of Herson region, started training by the method of D. V. Sandakov from Kiev. Treatment in rehabilitation institutions, as well as systematic lessons at home (with correctional educator, psychologist, speech therapist, instructor of exercise and massage), swimming in the pool, horseback riding and medication have given positive momentum in the comprehensive development of our baby.

She holds her head higher, laying on stomach, tries to sit down with some help, can stand more firm and longer, tries to make steps at full feet, not on toes, as before, with the help of an adult, holds her back more straight and confident and leans forward much less... In general our daughter has become more attentive, active, steady, understands the addressed speech much better. All of this makes us more and more confident that we are on the right track and we cannot stop, we have to go all the way to our dream – full healing of Katrusia.

This year we plan to go through three rehabilitation courses in the International clinic of Truskavets, since the treatment in this institution stays the most important and most resultive for our child. In order not to lose the previous achievements and to keep getting closer to our dream step by step, we have to continue the regular rehabilitations at least three times a year. We believe that we have the patience, strength and endurance. However, due to the rapid and tremendous increases in prices of all essentials, the family has no money for implementation is extremely important and vital measures for our daughter.

That is why we turn to all the indifferent people with the request for financial help. We believe that understanding and support of kind-hearted people can bring a real miracle for our Katrusia.

With respect and hope,
Kolesnikov's family".
