13-year-old Dima from Chuvashia was born prematurely, and in the second year of his life he was diagnosed with SMA. Despite all the difficulties associated with the diagnosis, Dima is incredibly inquisitive; this year he entered sixth grade and loves history and reading encyclopedias.
Dima has a younger sister Katya, with whom he is very close: they play together, organize chess tournaments and spend a lot of time reading and discussing interesting facts.
In April of this year, his health condition worsened, and doctors recommended installing a tracheostomy and connecting him to a ventilator to make breathing easier. A new battery is required for the ventilator to function properly.
Join our fundraising, together we can help Dima breathe more freely (in every sense) and continue to explore the world!
