Friends, your kindness gave Ivan the opportunity to complete an intensive rehabilitation course at the "Rodnik" center.

The boy's mother shares the achieved results: "A course of massage was conducted to relieve spasticity in the body. Vanya practiced sitting in different positions, being on all fours, standing with support, and walking on a treadmill with the help of an instructor. Noticeable progress was also made in his cognitive development: our son learned to compose stories from pictures, read simple sentences, and add and subtract numbers up to 10. Sensory integration sessions helped him better perceive his body in space: Vanya worked with clay and shaving foam, navigated mazes, and walked on uneven surfaces. The course turned out to be rich and productive. Thank you so much for helping our family!"

About the campaign

Ivan has Cerebral Palsy and needs your help for his rehabilitation!

Ivan is 7 years old and has Cerebral Palsy. He was born at 29 weeks of pregnancy, weighing 1320 grams, and spent his first month of life in intensive care on a ventilator. Due to severe prematurity and brain damage, the boy developed spastic tetraparesis.

Over the years of treatment, Ivan has undergone two complex surgeries: selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) on the spinal cord in 2021 to relieve spasticity, and hip surgery in 2023. Currently, Ivan can crawl, sit, stand with support, and take a few steps while holding someone’s hand. His cognitive functions are fully preserved: he speaks well and is learning numbers and letters.

The family is in a difficult financial situation. Ivan requires a course of restorative rehabilitation at the "Rodnik" center to consolidate the results of his surgeries and move towards independent walking.
