Zlata dreams of walking on her own. 3

The first months of little Zlata's life were full of joy and discoveries. She grew, smiled, explored the world, and brought her parents happiness every single day. But at 6.5 months, her life changed dramatically: high fever and seizures led to urgent hospitalization. The doctors' diagnosis was a terrible verdict: meningoencephalitis. Her chances of survival were only 50-50.

But Zlata is a real fighter! She persevered and continues her difficult struggle for a full life. The consequences of the disease remain serious: the girl has hemiparesis – weakness in the left half of her body – as well as symptomatic epilepsy. However, thanks to constant treatment and persistent rehabilitation, today, at the age of 8, Zlata can already stand without support, can walk a little, but more confidently on her own, repeat new words better, and learn new skills better.

However, there is still a lot of work ahead: the girl still has spasticity in her left arm and leg, and Zlata does not speak well. Despite this, she proves every day that she is ready to move forward and fight for her future. Unfortunately, the family's financial resources have been exhausted, and now her parents are unable to pay for further treatment on their own.

Zlata has every chance to learn to walk independently and develop her abilities, but this requires the support of caring people. Every hryvnia will help bring her closer to her dream of living a full and happy childhood. Let's give Zlata a chance together!
