Report

Due to the severe curvature of his spine, Andrey needed to have a metal structure implanted that would secure it in the correct position. And everything worked out – thanks to you!

The operation was extremely serious; after it, pain relief was administered via a pump around the clock for three whole days. It was so difficult that at first, Andrey said: “It would have been better if we hadn’t done it.”

“Our attending physician said: in a week, Andrey will be able to stand on his own, but, to be honest, I didn’t believe it was possible.” However, that’s exactly what happened – a week later, the son was already walking around the ward on his own, Katya recalls. “And when I saw that he had grown taller than me, I couldn’t believe in this miracle either! Our doctor is smart, a real talent; the stitch is like a thin thread.”

Now, two months later, Andrei has taken his words back. He’s on the move, not lying down. Now the boy doesn’t have to wear loose‑fitting clothes that hide his hump. After all, he’s grown 10 cm. Now you can breathe in full – before, all the internal organs and nerve endings were compressed, and pain was an inseparable companion. The only thing that worries Andrei now is that he didn’t pass the exams. He didn’t make it to the certificate award ceremony, didn’t get into university… “But we’ll apply next year, and for now we’ll gather strength and prepare.

With each passing day, Andrei is recovering more and more; he has rehabilitation ahead of him. Friends, we sincerely thank you for your help.

About the campaign

Andrey's hump is growing and he needs surgery to straighten his spine.

The curvature of Andrey's spine has already reached a critical level of 60 degrees. An operation to implant a metal structure will correct the situation.

17-year-old Andrey wears clothes 2 sizes too big to hide his hump. A sociable guy, a star of his class, a born musician (he mastered the guitar himself, started writing songs), Andrey braves and does not tell anyone about how his pain torments him. Meanwhile, mom is afraid of the severe complications of kyphosis – compression of the internal organs and spinal cord, which can lead to paralysis.

All fears and health threats will go away after the operation. Doctors will do it according to compulsory medical insurance. But you need to purchase expensive metalwork yourself. It should be like a strong support to keep Andrey's spine in the right position. There will be nothing without her. No surgery, no future, no present. Just more and more curvature.

Let's help the boy!
