Everything will be fine. 2020

Katyusha's timely rehabilitation is always a serious step forward in her development. The girl's parents dream of very ordinary and simple things for her. After all, they want their 8-year-old daughter to sit without the support of an adult, to walk independently, to master basic self-care skills...

That is why they regularly undergo treatment in Professor Kozyavkin’s International Rehabilitation Clinic in Truskavets. Today, this is the only institution for them, after rehabilitation in which there is always positive dynamics in the development of their daughter Katrusenka. 

Systematic exercises in the Rehabilitation Center at the place of her residence, training on an individual schedule at a specialized school "Hope", dolphin therapy course, which Katyushka passed in summer in Skadovsk, gave some results. She became more active, enduring, contact, attentive.

Those physical activities that were difficult for her half a year ago are now being perceived and performed much easier and better. Among them are standing on a vertical track, walking on a treadmill, working on a motomed, etc. The girl shows great interest in music: she listens to children's songs and classical instrumental music, with the help of an adult who performs finger exercises for musical accompaniment and beats the rhythm on sticks (harps). The sea of positive emotions arises when she goes swimming in the hot tub and a swimming pool. And, like a real lady, Katyushka loves to blow dry her hair with a hairdryer. Parents are systematically engaged with her at home - without days off, or holidays. They do not stop, they move forward, each time overcoming various life difficulties and obstacles.

Now the family is facing another test. In order not to lose the previous results, to consolidate and significantly improve them, as well as to reach the next new stage in comprehensive development, it is necessary to take a course of rehabilitation in the above-mentioned clinic. But the amount of money to pay for the treatment provided to families is simply beyond the limits. Therefore, the family hopes for the support of responsive and kind philanthropists and believes that a lack of funds will not prevent Katyusha’s movement forward – towards her bright future...

Earlier, at UBB, we already raised funds for Katya. You can view previous projects here.
