For the first time, Kolya is standing on his own two feet. And it all became possible thanks to your support. With your help, dear benefactors, we were able to pay for the boy's verticalizer. Kolya likes the new position of his body very much, he enjoys spending time in the verticalizer, playing different games. And his mother is calm for him, because now he is developing properly and safely.

Remember, Kolya cannot stand on his own feet - because of the diagnosis of spina bifida in his legs there is no sensitivity. Specialists picked up a special verticalizer for Kolya. Standing on a special support will improve the boy's physical condition, the condition of his respiratory and excretory systems, will serve as a prevention of osteoporosis and allow to avoid contractures of joints and as a result, surgery.

Kolya's mother wrote to us: "I want to say thank you so much to everyone who helped us buy this technical rehabilitation device. Now my little boy can stand and explore the world from his own height!"

About the campaign

Kolya has no support in his legs. He needs a standing aid to develop properly!

Gulzara found out at 24 weeks of pregnancy that everything would not be easy with her son. The doctor at the ultrasound scan dryly suggested an abortion, because the child had a malformation of the spinal cord - spina bifida. He didn't explain anything.

When she came home in tears, Gulzara searched on the Internet for information about this disease. She read a lot of information: that people with spina bifida have an ordinary life expectancy, they have a retained intellect, can receive an education and work, create a family, and lead an ordinary life. Really, in a wheelchair. Because most of the time they cannot feel their legs.

This information betrayed the strength of the future mother, the more she just could not get it into her head - how can you kill such a beloved, let it not yet born. He even already had a name - Kolya.

Just after his birth Kolya underwent spinal surgery. Later there were three more surgical interventions, including the removal of a cyst of the brain. Now Kolya is 3 years old, his mother and father love him very much and do everything for the boy's full development. And they are doing a great job: the boy turns over independently, tries to crawl on all fours, sits independently. He speaks a little, all the words are abbreviated to one syllable, but the main words: "mom" and "dad" - is pronounced completely. Moscow doctors said that Kolya's intellect is absolutely preserved. There are no impairments, only a slight lag in development, which can be made up in time.

Now it's time for Kolya to be vertical. But, unfortunately, he cannot stand on his feet by himself - there is no sensitivity in his legs because of the diagnosis. Specialists picked up a special verticalizer for Kolya. The opportunity to stand on a special support will improve the boy's physical condition, the condition of his respiratory and excretory systems, will serve as a prevention of osteoporosis, will help to avoid contractures of joints and as a result, surgical intervention.

But it is impossible for Kolya's family to buy an expensive rehabilitation device on their own. His father works, and his mother is busy with the house and children.

Let's help the smiling boy develop properly with the help of the standing aid!
