Sofia, who has cerebral palsy, needs a rehabilitation machine for daily exercises at home

Important people

Foundation • Moscow

Sofia was born prematurely, and the doctors fought for her life from the very first moments. The little girl has several serious conditions: a congenital brain malformation, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Since she was six months old, her family has been taking Sofia to rehabilitation sessions in various cities. Thanks to regular sessions, the girl has developed important skills: she has learnt to hold her head up, roll over, sit with support and pick up toys. However, while rehabilitation courses provide a boost, daily sessions at home are needed to maintain and develop the skills she has acquired. A vibration platform is particularly important – a piece of equipment that helps reduce spasticity, strengthen muscles and improve joint mobility. It makes the body more responsive and movements freer. But there is no such exercise machine at home, and its cost is too high for the family. Please help Sofia! Let’s give her the chance to continue her exercises at home.
