Armen and three other children with severe illnesses need loungers for safe bathing.

Armen is 18 years old. He lives in Sankt-Peterburg with his loving family, attends school, and socializes with friends. Armen does not speak, but he understands those around him well, easily makes contact, and knows how to express his wishes and emotions. He is a very friendly and sociable young man who loves technology and cars.

Due to a congenital genetic disorder, Armen spends most of his time in a wheelchair. It is difficult for him to sit and hold his body upright on his own. Bathing is especially challenging: a regular bathtub does not provide the necessary support, and holding Armen in one's arms is becoming increasingly difficult. He weighs about 50 kg, moves involuntarily during bathing, loses balance, and water can get into his mouth. He also has seizures, so it is especially important that he is securely fixed and in a safe position during bathing.

Sofiya, Armen's mother, shares: “I have long used a special supportive neck ring for bathing, but Armen has grown, and now it no longer suits us—he could simply choke. Other mothers advised us to get a bath lounger—it is very convenient and safe. We really hope that kind people can help us. This would be a huge support for our whole family.”

The same equipment is needed for three more beneficiaries of the Bumazhnaya ptitsa foundation. Any amount will help bring the purchase of the necessary bath loungers closer. Thank you to everyone who supports our fundraiser.
