Nikita is 14 years old. During a difficult birth, the boy was injured - displacement of the cervical vertebrae. The consequences were multiple neurological disorders: cerebral palsy, epilepsy, impaired psychomotor development.
Nikita had many trips and rehabilitations, but in 2021, on New Year's Eve, he began to choke badly and ended up in intensive care under a ventilator. Doctors were unable to improve his breathing - they had to put in a tracheostomy. Specialists did not give predictions that the boy would breathe on his own, but three months later Nikita returned home without a ventilator.
Since then, for almost three years, the boy has been struggling with suffocation. Periodically, Nikita requires emergency hospitalization. And even during trips to the hospital, difficulties arise - the boy suffocates. He vitally needs a portable oxygen concentrator, which the family cannot afford to buy on their own. It will help avoid difficult situations and give Nikita the opportunity to go for walks.
