Report

As an infant, Polina suffered a severe neurological infection, after which the girl's muscles were constantly tense and in pain. It was difficult for her to even hold a spoon, to speak and smile, and she could only move around in a wheelchair. Later, Polya lost her mother and ended up in an orphanage.

In December 2022, specialists from the Fond brought her to Moskva for treatment. She underwent two surgeries: one on her spinal cord and one on her legs. Step by step, her smile and clear speech returned, and then Polina took her first independent steps. Now she walks on her own — even if only for a short time and over small distances, but this is a huge achievement.

"Polyushka is very brave, like a real knight," her nanny laughs, "And her loyal helper could be called her squire."

Recently, the nanny noticed a lump in Polina's abdomen — she needed emergency hospitalization and surgery. The whole time Polya was in the hospital, her nanny was with her, so the girl was not afraid, and even lying before anesthesia, she smiled.

The surgery was successful and now Polya has already returned to the Sotsialnyy tsentr. Thank you for your compassion! With your help, we paid for the work of nannies for Polina and two other children.

About the campaign

Polina is an orphan. Please help her and other children receive care from a nanny during their treatment!

As an infant, Polina suffered a severe neurological infection. She couldn't walk, talk, or hold a spoon or pencil on her own. Soon, Polya lost her mother and ended up in an orphanage. The foundation arranged treatment for her in Moscow: she underwent the necessary surgeries, followed by extensive rehabilitation. A nanny from the foundation was by her side throughout this time. Today, the girl walks independently, talks, and smiles more and more often.

For a child without a family, a nanny during treatment is more than just help with household chores. They are an adult who will support her, comfort her after procedures, and be there when she's scared.

Right now, the foundation is caring for children who cannot cope without care. After surgeries, many of them are unable to walk independently; some need help with hygiene, feeding, and mobility; and for others, simply having a caring adult nearby is especially important.

Help us pay for foster nannies for Polina and other children so that no child without a family is left alone during treatment.
