Report

Vanya is already a big boy, he will soon be a year old. Not long ago, his mom Valeria didn't even know yet what she would have to face after the birth of her fifth child. Fortunately, when her son was diagnosed with spina bifida, his mom turned to our Foundation for help.

And already in the summer the baby was able to undergo an important examination at the consilium of the Moscow scientific institute named after Veltischev. Vanechka was given a full diagnosis of his condition, a treatment plan was drawn up, and Valeria's mother was told how to properly care for and develop the baby and prevent the development of secondary complications, which are so common with this difficult diagnosis.

We thank every tuber who supported our little ward and helped the baby to undergo such an important examination!

It so happened that Vanechka's examination turned out to be cheaper than we expected and we spent the rest of the money on the operation for Maxim, who suffered from hydrocephalus at the age of 14 and was tormented by severe epileptic seizures.

The Spina Bifida Foundation and the families of our beneficiaries heartily thank the Tooba app and all its users!

About the campaign

6-month-old Vanya has spina bifida and needs to be examined!

Vanya's mother found out about her son's diagnosis when she was still pregnant with him. At 23 weeks pregnant, she was diagnosed with spina bifida. The doctors suggested a unique intrauterine surgery to excise the spinal hernia, after which the baby would have a better chance of a full life. Vanechka's mom-to-be agreed to this difficult procedure. The surgery was successful, but the baby decided to be born two months early.

Now Vanya is six months old and slightly behind his peers in development. He has two older brothers and two sisters. It so happened that his mother raises the children alone, without a husband or relatives. Having come to Moscow for intrauterine surgery, the woman lived in an orphanage and now in a rented apartment. For Mom and Vanya it was very important to have a medical consultation at the Veltischev Institute. This gives mom an opportunity to be examined by the best doctors and receive information that will help her understand what to do next and how to structure rehabilitation of Vanya.

Mom cannot afford to pay for the check-up at the institute and we ask everyone to help little Vanya. His future depends on this examinations!
