To live without a corset

Liudochka is 13, and she has 3 degrees of scoliosis. The 6-year-old girl was bitten by a dog, her head was injured. Fortunately, the doctors managed to save Liudochka. On the head left 10 stitches, facial nerve was also broken. Liuda left in the hospital for 2 months, then she was annually treated in the neurological department of "OKHMATDYT". Due to the lack of money, she was treated once per year instead of 3-4 times annually. But now the girl must undergo the necessary treatment to live without a corset.

When the girl was 10, she was diagnosed S-shaped scoliosis of 3 degree. She and her mother often went to health retreats, but it gave few results. Then my mother found out about the medical center of Bubnovskyi (there the scoliosis is treated by invasive method).

August 24, 2012 they first turned to the center. Liuda was treated there for 3 months, she had a great result, but treatment was finished because the mother had no more funds. The mother had to stop the treatment of her daughter for a year, and the girl's deteriorated health get worse due to her extensive growth. The mother took a credit, and the family returned again to the center. After 10 months of treatment there was a good result.

Liuda really wants to be treated in this center, bur there's no money for it: the mother grows her daughter on her own.

The cost of treatment per month is 4 620 UAH. The girl needs at least 1 year of treatment. The treatment during July and August helped collect the CF "Hope for Life". So, we collect on UBB funds for 10 months of treatment.

Let's help make Liudochka's dream come true – to live without a corset!
