Matvey is 6 years old. Since birth, he has been struggling with the consequences of severe medical complications. As an infant, the boy was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. He has undergone neurosurgical operations, shunting, and has experienced seizures.
Matvey cannot walk independently—only with the help of Mama. He really wants to run and play with other children, but for now, he cannot do so without support. Mama is always by her son's side and rejoices at each of his achievements.
Matvey needs custom orthotic braces. They help keep his joints in the correct position, correct valgus foot deformity, stretch spastic muscles, and properly distribute the load on his joints. The family hopes that the braces will help the boy move more confidently. Mama is raising Matvey on her own, and she cannot afford the necessary devices.
Please support the fundraiser for orthotic braces for Matvey—so that he has more opportunities to move and play alongside other children!
