Yanchimaa Biche-ool was born with cerebral palsy, so simple movements for other children - picking up a spoon, picking up a toy, taking a step - were given to her with great difficulty.
Her legs do not straighten and her feet do not obey, every step is given with great effort. On the street her mother takes her daughter in a stroller, and at home the girl moves only with someone's help.
Doctors say that Jancimaa has a chance to learn to walk on her own if she starts wearing ankle orthoses right now. They will help her to set her feet correctly, correct joint deformities and strengthen her muscles.
But such orthoses are made only to individual measurements and are expensive - a sum that the family cannot afford on its own.
Yanchimaa is looking forward to the day when she will be able to walk without a stroller, approach other children, play, laugh and enjoy life. Let's help her make that first step together!
