Report

Since early childhood, Alisa has been walking on her tiptoes; walking on her heels is impossible for her, and her right leg is shorter than her left. The girl is being monitored by an orthopedist and a neurologist, and now further therapy depends on the results of genetic testing. If the genetic nature of the disease is not confirmed, Alisa will need surgery on her Achilles tendon at the KDKB of Permskiy kray.

Thanks to you, dear benefactors, the genetic analysis has been paid for. Thank you for your responsiveness and kindness! For Alisa's family, this is not just financial assistance, but an opportunity to understand the cause of the disease and choose the right course of treatment.

About the campaign

One of Alice's legs is shorter than the other, she needs to undergo an examination to determine the cause of the disease and further treatment

Alisa is only 6 years old. She is developing at an appropriate age, attending kindergarten, Sunday school, and enthusiastically studying mathematics. This year, she will start first grade. She is preparing diligently, dreaming of new friends and lessons.

At 10 months old, Alisa underwent complex open-heart surgery: a ventricular defect and tricuspid valve repair were performed.

She is currently under the care of a neurologist and orthopedist. Since an early age, Alisa has walked on her toes; walking on her heels is impossible due to the shortening of her right lower limb. Despite long-term treatment with an osteopath and regular physical therapy, there has been no significant improvement so far.

To determine the exact cause of her problems and develop further treatment plans, Alisa needs full genome sequencing. This study will help doctors determine the next steps.
