17-year-old Zulfiya with cerebral palsy proves daily that even the most difficult obstacles can be overcome. After years of rehabilitation, she has learned to sit without support and is trying to stand up — tremendous progress for a girl who cannot walk or speak.
Zulfiya now needs a rehabilitation course including sessions with a speech therapist, psychologist, physical therapy and massage. These classes will help preserve achieved results and create a foundation for new accomplishments.
Zulfiya's mother is raising three children alone, two of whom have serious illnesses. Besides Zulfiya with cerebral palsy, the second child has grade 3 valgus foot deformity and scoliosis. The family cannot afford regular treatment on their own.
Your support will give Zulfiya a chance to continue fighting for independence. Every session is an opportunity for her to become a little more independent.
