Nika finally got an activity chair! Five children who are under the care of the Children’s hospices received help as well

Last spring Nika got a comfortable activity chair. Unfortunately, in February 2022 the situation in Russia did become far from predictable. The supply chain of medical equipment and technical means of rehabilitation was heavily affected. It turned out that the activity chair we had raised funds for was out of stock. A further shipment was not ensured. However, there was the last one activity chair of this model left on our warehouse. Given the shortage, we decided to hand this chair over to Nika’s family. Hence, the donations were redistributed to meet other families’ needs. Dear friends, we were able to help five families who have been under the care of the Moscow Children’s hospice and Moscow Oblast Children’s hospice. Thanks to you, the children with life-limiting diseases were provided with the foods for special medical purposes and the individual pieces of orthopedic equipment. Maryana is the youngest child you helped. She is one year old. The girl has spinal muscular atrophy type 1. It is a rare genetic disease resulting in progressive muscle wasting. Maryana received ankle foot orthoses. These external medical devices help avoid potential complications of SMA—joint and limb deformity. We are grateful for the support of the Tooba users!
