David was born a healthy baby, but at 4 months old, the first alarming signs appeared: he could not swallow even liquid food. At six months, doctors diagnosed him with hypotonia, and then the little boy was hit by a series of severe illnesses that masked the true cause of his weakness. Precious time was lost.
By the time the diagnosis of SMA Type 2 was finally confirmed, David was extremely frail: he had stopped crawling and could barely sit. Gene therapy stopped the progression of the disease, but to regain his lost skills, David needs daily and persistent rehabilitation.
Thanks to physical therapy and massage, David has already made significant progress: he has relearned how to sit, crawl, and get onto his knees. For his family, every course represents an enormous expense that they cannot manage on their own.
Please help David grow stronger and continue his journey toward new victories over the disease!
