Charitable foundation • Moscow

Vanya Tikhonov, a child under care of Movement Up Charity Foundation, received the necessary wheelchair.

Now Vanya will be able to move around and go to rehabilitation courses in his new wheelchair, which will allow the boy to maintain the correct position without harm to his health.

«Hello, dear benefactors! Thank you so much for your help! Vanya is in a new wheelchair, which we will use for rehabilitation. Our previous wheelchair was difficult to transport, , it was difficult to fold due to long use, it was very old, and we had to call a taxi several times because it didn't fit in the trunk. This new wheelchair is maneuverable, lightweight and can easily fit into the trunk of any taxi. I can lift it. We are grateful for this help. Thank you very much!» – wrote Ksenia, Vanya's mom.

Our Movement Up Charity Foundation would like to thank Tooba app and all the caring tubers, who helped raise funds for Vanya's wheelchair.

Vanya has cerebral palsy. He needs a specialized wheelchair so that he could go to classes without damage to his health

Pregnancy of Vanya Tikhonov's mom was without complications, but the childbirth took long time. Due to hypoxia and asphyxia, Vanya didn't cry immediately after birth, he was sent to the intensive care unit and connected to ALV (artificial lung ventilation). At the age of 1 y.o. during another examination at the hospital, doctors diagnosed him with cerebral palsy.

As Vanya grew, his feet began to deform, so he underwent foot reconstruction surgery. After this surgery Vanya lost all skills, he acquired previously, and stopped walking. Additionally, he got grade 3 scoliosis.

Now Vanya is 15 years old. He is a kind and sociable boy, knows how to enjoy life, likes to play with his younger brother. Vanya's main goal now is to get back the skills he had before the surgery. Vanya needs a specialized wheelchair so that he could go to rehabilitation centers without damage to his health and in the correct position. Such a wheelchair is light and fits in a taxi. This will also help Vanya's mom as she brings him up alone. Let's all together help Vanya and his mom improve their quality of life and achieve all goals!
