Elijah has a new stroller!

Spina bifida

Charitable foundation • Moscow

Thanks to the closed collection we bought a comfortable and maneuverable stroller for Ilya. The old stroller became too small for him, the boy was growing and could barely fit in it. But now he can move comfortably, because the young man leads an active lifestyle - he goes to school, to additional classes, goes out with friends.

We thank everyone who supported our collection for Ilya. The family also joins us in our gratitude!

Campaign information

Ilya needs to get a new stroller that will "replace" his legs!

Ilya has a congenital malformation of the spine - spina bifida. At the 26th week of pregnancy, the future mother was told the terrible diagnosis and was not given any prognosis. Some time after the birth it became clear that the boy has no sensitivity below the waist and will not be able to walk. But this does not prevent him from living a full life now!

To date, the family is acutely concerned about a new wheelchair, as Ilya has no support for his legs at all, cannot stand and move around - the wheelchair is his legs. Ilya, having such a difficult diagnosis, tries to live an active life, so the stroller needs certain parameters, as well as quality, comfortable and maneuverable. Moreover, Ilya is a full-time student in college and every day he has to find ways to get there and back. Ilya also has severely impaired trophics in his legs, everything below the waist and leg has no sensitivity. And now he has a pressure sore on one foot, which does not heal because of the uncomfortable footrest of the old stroller.

Ilya needs a wheelchair for studying, moving around, walking, visiting hospitals and events, and just for more comfortable life at home and outside. Ilya also dreams of finding a job after graduation. He wants to live as fully as possible and not to be lost in society, to be useful and just happy!

Let's help Ilya to be active and independent with the help of a new stroller!
