Report

For Semyon, who spends almost all his time in a wheelchair due to congenital hydrocephalus, the simple joys of childhood are often fraught with difficulties. As he grows and becomes heavier, even routine care for him requires tremendous physical effort from his parents. Every bath in the sauna became a complex and dangerous procedure.

Thank you for helping us purchase a specialized bathing lounger for Semyon and another seriously ill child. Bathing has become safer: the lounger supports the body, helps keep it in the correct position, prevents slipping, and facilitates care. Thanks to this, hygiene procedures are calmer, more comfortable, and without unnecessary fear and pain.

This has become a vital support for families in their daily lives. You have helped make childcare safer, more comfortable, and more caring. Thank you for your help!

About the campaign

Semyon and another child need specialized sun loungers for safe bathing

Semyon has congenital hydrocephalus. He is now 9 years old and spends almost all his time in a wheelchair. Semyon doesn't speak, but remains a surprisingly cheerful boy: he loves being played with, smiles when listening to the phone on speakerphone, and delights in the sound of familiar voices.

Semyon is growing and becoming heavier, and routine care is becoming increasingly demanding. There is no bathtub in the house, only a sauna, meaning every bathing session becomes a complex and dangerous procedure. Holding a large child in water poses a significant risk for both the child and the parents.

A specialized bathing bouncer allows for safe bathing, full body support, and care without fear or pain. It secures the child in the correct position, prevents slipping, facilitates access for care, and makes bathing a calm and comfortable experience.

Currently, such a bouncer is needed for Semyon and another child. This simple device radically changes a family's quality of life: it provides safety, makes care easier, and allows a child to enjoy the water without risk. Join the fundraiser and give two children the opportunity to swim safely and comfortably.
