Report

Zhenya has cerebral palsy. Following a severe viral brain infection, he lost the skills he had acquired, and his family had to start his rehabilitation almost from scratch. Thanks to regular rehabilitation, he is now able to hold his head up briefly, roll over, eat from a spoon and focus his gaze.

Zhenya had outgrown his old wheelchair, so he needed a new one for his rehabilitation sessions — one that was lightweight, compact and tailored to his specific needs.

Thanks to your support, Zhenya has received a new wheelchair. It helps to position his body correctly and securely, and thanks to its light weight and ability to fold compactly, it has become easier for his mum to manage the trips.

Thank you! 💚

About the campaign

Zhenya has cerebral palsy and needs a wheelchair!

Zhenya is seven years old and has cerebral palsy. Until he was 11 months old, he developed like a normal baby, but a severe viral inflammation of the brain changed his life. Resuscitation, artificial ventilation, coma — after that, Zhenya lost all his skills, and his family had to start all over again.

Years of rehabilitation have paid off: now Zhenya can hold his head up for a short time, roll over, eat from a spoon, and focus his gaze. He loves to paint with his fingers, sculpt, and listen to fairy tales. Every little skill is the result of his mother's tremendous work and faith in her son.

Zhenya regularly goes to rehabilitation, and for these trips he needs a lightweight stroller. It folds compactly, can be individually adjusted to the child's body, and securely fixes his position. The old stroller has become too small for Zhenya, and heavy models are difficult for his mother to handle physically — they are very heavy.

Please help Zhenya! Your help will make trips to rehabilitation easier and support his mother, who is doing everything she can to ensure her son continues to develop.
