Dear friends! Thanks to your support, we have purchased a mobile electric lift for Lyosha. Now his mother can safely lift and move her son: transfer him to his wheelchair, change his bedding, and help with hygiene. Previously, she often had to wait for his father to come home from work for this. Lifting Lyosha by herself was difficult and unsafe for her back. Now, she doesn't have to postpone necessary tasks until he returns, and she can help her son on her own without risking her own health. Thank you to everyone who supported Lyosha! Thanks to you, he can be with his loved ones more often, move around the house, and take part in what is happening around him. And his mother still has the strength and health to care for her son.

About the campaign

Lesha has a severe progressive disease and needs a mobile electric lift

Lesha is 17 years old and has a severe, progressive disease called leukodystrophy. Despite his physical limitations, he wants to move and actively participate in what's going on at home. He doesn't want to just lie around and wait for attention.

Lesha has an active, loving family. However, Lesha's mother is physically unable to lift and move her son on her own. He is growing and getting heavier every year. Transferring him to a stroller, changing his bedding, and washing him—each task is incredibly difficult and poses a risk to her back and health. Therefore, she often waits for his father to come home from work to help her with her son.

A mobile electric lift can solve this problem. It's battery-powered, easy to move on wheels, and allows Lesha to be lifted smoothly and safely. Lesha's mother no longer has to strain herself; she can simply press a button on the remote.

This lift will give Lesha the opportunity to move around the apartment and be close to his family, and will help his mother stay healthy and save energy for caring for her son.
