Thanks to you, Vanya has taken his first independent steps with support!

Vanya was born at 28 weeks, weighing only 1240 grams. The first month and a half of his life was difficult, and upon discharge, doctors warned of a high risk of Cerebral Palsy; later, the diagnosis was confirmed: spastic diplegia.

Now Vanya is 5 years old. He is a very capable and focused boy: he loves puzzles, painting by numbers, and is already learning to read. Physically, Vanya is a real fighter. He can stand up by himself using support and move with the help of a walker. Vanya desperately wants to walk on his own and gets frustrated when his legs don't obey, but he never stops trying.

For Vanya’s dream to come true, he needs regular work with specialists. A course of physical therapy and massage will help reduce spasticity and strengthen his muscles for confident walking.

Please support Vanya! Your help is a chance for this boy to become independent.
