Arina was born in critical condition, suffering from severe birth asphyxia and neurological impairments. Her Apgar score was just 1–2—a critically low reading for a newborn. She was subsequently diagnosed with several conditions, primarily cerebral palsy, alongside structural brain abnormalities, strabismus, and partial optic nerve atrophy.
Despite these challenges, Arina is growing, and her family is doing their best to cope with the difficulties. However, she requires specialized assistive equipment to maintain proper body alignment and prevent spinal curvature, postural imbalances, and joint dislocations. Only a specialized orthopedist can select the right equipment, but appointments are available only on a paid basis, so the family needs help.
Please help Arina and nine other children supported by the foundation receive a specialist consultation. With the right wheelchairs and standers, these children will be able to move and develop rather than being confined to a lying position!
