Sasha will be able to walk despite the diagnosis.4

Sasha is a boy with a big heart, a vivid imagination and great willpower. He is seven, and this year he is going to start first grade. It is a joy, excitement and a lot of preparation. Especially for a child with a complex diagnosis, who has never been to kindergarten, has experienced the loss of his home, and has been gaining, step by step, what other children consider to be “normal” for many years.

Sasha's family is from Pokrovsk, Donetsk region. Due to the full-scale war, they were forced to leave their home and start life from scratch in Kyiv region. Everything is new: a new city, new housing, new routes to doctors, new adaptation.   Sashko often recalls his favorite books, toys, the pond where he fed the ducks... And his mother remembers what it was like to have her own home, peace, and stability.

Today, this family continues to fight for Sasha's health. In recent years, the boy has made tremendous progress: he began to speak, make sentences, count, and memorize rhymes. After each course of treatment, his physical condition also improves: spasticity decreases, his body becomes more relaxed. But regular rehabilitation is required to maintain and develop the results.

But a course of treatment costs tens of thousands of hryvnias. And social assistance is barely enough for food and rent.

The mother is raising her children alone. Due to the need for constant care for her son, she cannot work full time. Nevertheless, she does not stop: at home she makes souvenir soap and scented candles, and together with her children she makes trench candles for the military. But she cannot save up for the treatment course on her own.

That's why we are appealing to you. Help Sashko undergo a new rehabilitation course. He is trying his best. And he deserves a chance to go to school with confidence, new strength and a smile.

Together we can support a family that has not broken under the burden of war, but continues to fight for life, health and future.
