Report

Said has spina bifida, which is why he has no support in his legs. But in spite of his diagnosis, he learned to crawl on all fours. The next stage of development is standing, which for Said is impossible without a specially selected technical device for everyday rehabilitation - a standing aid.

Thanks to everyone who supported the collection of the expensive technical means, now Said has a great opportunity for rehabilitation at home. Said is happy to stand in the standing platform every day, he can play with cars, educational board games or watch TV. It is very comfortable, compact and safe.

Said's mother wrote to us: "Every time when we put the boy in the vertical wheel I want to thank everyone who helped us to buy it: all the Foundation employees, the charity providers who sacrifice themselves for the good of our children. Thank you very much, your help is very important to us, we appreciate your work!"

The Spina Bifida Foundation would like to heartily thank all the tubers who supported the collection for Said. Thank you so much for the opportunity to develop properly and safely for the baby.

About the campaign

Said needs an upright to develop properly

Said looks fascinated by his brother's boxing gloves, asks to try them on, and proudly poses for a photo with the gloves on, hanging the helmet on the handle of his stroller. The boy dreams that when he grows up, he will be like his big brother, a fearless and strong boxer!

Said was lucky - he was born into a big friendly family. And now he is the favorite baby of all his many brothers and sisters. Everyone in the family adores Said! How can you not love such a laughing baby?

His mother always smiles when she lovingly talks about her son: "He is very easy to make contact with anyone, even strangers. This helps us when we have to visit countless doctors and specialists. Said takes all these activities as a game, everything brings him joy. My son lives with an open heart and teaches all of us to overcome all of life's difficulties with the same ease. It was Said who taught me to appreciate the moment and to see the important in the small.

Too bad love alone isn't enough for parents to help their son. He has Spina bifida, a congenital malformation of the spine that leads to many health problems. Said has no support on his feet, but in order to develop properly he, like all people, needs to assume an upright position. He cannot do it by himself - he needs a verticalizer. It is a special device that helps Said stand with the help of various supports. That way the load on the spine and hip joints will be distributed correctly, and all internal organs will take their place.

Unfortunately it is impossible to get an expensive device for rehabilitation at home and Said's family cannot afford to buy it. That's why we decided to open a collection for Said's standing platform.

Let's help the little boxer to stand and develop properly!
