Report

Stepan has completed an essential rehabilitation course at the "Rodnik" Center. This stage was crucial for him: in October 2025, Stepan underwent complex surgery on his hip and knee joints. After spending two months in a cast, professional rehabilitation was vital for him to relearn how to control his body.

Thanks to the adapted physical education (APE) sessions made possible by your support, Stepan achieved impressive results. His muscle tension has decreased, the crossing of his legs has been corrected, and muscle tone in all his limbs has diminished. His range of motion has increased, and his coordination has notably improved.

Most importantly, Stepan is now standing much more confidently at a support and holding his balance better. During the sessions, specialists worked on the "stepping effect," bringing Stepan closer to his ultimate dream of walking independently. Thank you to everyone who helped the boy stay strong after his surgery and continue his journey toward health!

About the campaign

Stepan has cerebral palsy, he needs rehabilitation

Stepan is 9 years old and has cerebral palsy.

He regularly undergoes rehabilitation to strengthen his muscles and improve his balance. In January 2025, Stepan completed a course at the Rodnik Center in St. Petersburg with the support of the foundation. After that, he became noticeably stronger — he learned to stay on all fours, keep his back straight, rely more confidently on his legs, and stand with support.

Regular therapy helps him stay mobile, reduce muscle tension, and improve coordination. Stepan also uses an eye-tracker to learn numbers, letters, and form simple sentences.

The family is raising Stepan in difficult circumstances and cannot afford the next rehabilitation course on their own.

Let’s help Stepan continue his treatment and take another step toward his dream — standing and walking independently!
