Report

2-year-old Timofey has spina bifida, a congenital spinal cord condition. Due to his illness, the boy couldn't walk on his own, but thanks to your support, he completed a vital course of massage and physical therapy.

Timofey's mother shares incredible results: "Before the sessions started, Timofey couldn't even walk holding a hand; he only moved along furniture support. After this rehabilitation, we started walking confidently holding just one hand and even took our first independent steps! We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the foundation staff and everyone who helped with the fundraiser."

About the campaign

Timofey has spina bifida and needs rehabilitation

Timofey is 2 years old and has spina bifida. The condition was diagnosed at the 30th week of pregnancy. Despite serious medical forecasts, the family decided to continue the pregnancy, and Timofey underwent surgery immediately after birth.

Due to the consequences of the condition, Timofey currently experiences difficulties with movement and is not yet able to walk independently. He moves with support or while holding hands, taking small and unsteady steps. At the same time, his overall development corresponds to his age: he can wash himself, brush his teeth, knows many words, and already speaks in short sentences.

Timofey is an active and cheerful child. He enjoys playing with toy cars, airplanes, soft toys, and likes coloring and exploring the world around him.

Regular rehabilitation is essential for Timofey to strengthen his leg muscles and develop independent walking skills. The current fundraiser is aimed at covering the cost of a rehabilitation course that will help him take the next important step in his development.
