Report

Kirill has type I spinal muscular atrophy. He undergoes regular rehabilitation, but he has grown a lot over the summer and his previous standing frame has become too small for him.

Now, thanks to your support, Kirill has a new standing frame that fits him perfectly. With its help, the boy can safely stand upright. Regular standing is important for maintaining respiratory function and the health of his internal organs, as well as for preventing contractures.

The team at the ‘Important People’ Foundation would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting Kirill!

About the campaign

Kirill, who has SMA, needs a standing frame for daily rehabilitation at home.

Kirill has type I spinal muscular atrophy. He is an active and curious boy who loves to draw, play with toy cars and listen to fairy tales. Kirill receives pathogenetic therapy and exercises regularly: he swims in the pool and attends physical therapy classes.

This summer, Kirill grew a lot, and the standing frame that allowed him to exercise at home became too small. This device helps to safely hold the body in a standing position, supports breathing and internal organs, and prevents the development of contractures. Without a standing frame of the right size, daily exercises at home had to be stopped.

Support Kirill! The new standing frame will help him maintain his progress and eventually take his first independent step.
