Free the girl from the stone cage

"Why do you need an operation?", I ask. "Arms and legs hardened into stone. We are making both massage and exercises, but her elbows and knees do not unbend completely. Now Marichka is growing fast, her muscles and tendons simply do not keep up with her body, they need help. Every day now is very painful", the mother said. Professor Ul’zibat invented how to help in this situation; his operation methodology really helps thousands of children. It will help Marichka too if only we will be able to pay for this treatment.

Almost 12 years passed since the day Marichka was born. Every day was full of concerns and quiet mother’s heroical deed. A Severe form of ICP does not give a day to relax. A massage and special exercise is an everyday duty. Not only to win the improvement but also not to have the impairment. The body is becoming less and less mobile and manageable without the regular exercises. So Olena’s home is like a real gym for the daughter with even the race track there. Outside there is a bike with special hangers to hold out the unmanageable Marichka’s body. After physical training the girl has lessons. The school teacher is coming to Marichka’s home.

The girl is tender eyed because of ICP, but all the same, she learned to read and write, and the English language became her favorite subject. Mother Olena is trying to do everything for the girl to be independent as much as possible in order to have future. But now this small family needs help to save today. To free the girl from the stone cage of her own body for it to be able to move freely. To free the girl from a pain that now is a constant companion of her any movement. The operation according to Ul’zibat methodology can give all this to the girl, but her mother could not pay for the operation alone. They need our help!
