Nadya finally got her upright. She was really looking forward to it. It's so exciting to stand on your own feet for the first time at the age of 5. Nadya was born with a diagnosis of spina bifida, because of the consequences of the diagnosis she has no support in her legs, she cannot stand on her own. But with your help we were able to buy a standing machine for the girl. It will help her to stand safely every day! This posture will distribute the load on the spine and hips. And all the internal organs will fall into place. Thank you for the opportunity to develop properly for Nadia! Thank you to everyone who participated in the gathering.

About the campaign

Nadia needs a vertical leveller to develop properly

Nadia has a congenital malformation - spina bifida. The vertebrae did not close in the womb, and the spinal cord came out and formed a hernia. Nadya was operated on the first day, the hernia was sutured. But the severe consequences of the diagnosis could not be avoided. The girl has no support in her legs, she cannot stand.

Nadya needs a standing machine for normal development. Standing position allows the load on the spine and hips to be distributed. The heart, blood vessels, and digestive system - all the internal organs - begin to work properly. And hands are also freed, the child can play and look at the world from his or her own height.

The "Spina Bifida" Foundation is collecting funds to buy a verticalizer for Nadya. It is impossible to get it from the state under IPRA, as it is not included in the federal list of technical means of rehabilitation.
