Thanks to your support, eight-year-old Amir now has a lightweight active wheelchair — specially selected and fitted just for him. It was adjusted to match his height, joint condition, and the way he moves. This is important: the wheelchair doesn’t just “generally fit” — it is truly made for him. It’s comfortable, safe, and most importantly, he can control it on his own.

Now Amir can move independently from room to room and explore everything around him. And very soon, real outdoor walks will begin — long ones, along routes he chooses himself. Not just a few meters followed by exhaustion, but full прогулки in the yard, in the park, and on the way to school.

Thank you to everyone who helped! You’ve given this boy more movement, more confidence, and more joy.

About the campaign

Let’s help Amir, who has a rare genetic condition, become more independent — he needs a lightweight active wheelchair

Amir is growing up in a big, loving family. He’s eight years old and will be starting school this year. He enjoys going for walks, building railroads, and planning train routes.

Amir has Larsen syndrome — a rare condition that causes joint deformities and instability from birth. Because of this, one of his legs barely bends, making it hard for him to move around.

At home, he can walk a little with someone’s support and even climb stairs. But outside, he can only cover short distances — he can’t go far without a wheelchair.

Right now, Amir uses a heavy orthopedic wheelchair. It’s difficult to manage, especially during trips for treatment, which happen five or six times a year. And soon, he’ll be starting school, where he’ll need to get around on his own.

Recently, Amir got to try an active wheelchair at kindergarten. At first, he was nervous and unsure if he could do it. But soon, he was moving between rooms by himself — even playing tag with his mom!

We need your support to get Amir his own lightweight active wheelchair — one that’s suitable for school, walks, and travel for rehabilitation. It will help him move more freely, learn, play, and feel equal to other children.
