About the campaign

Polina has cerebral palsy, rehabilitation is needed

Polina Romanova is 12 years old, she has a fantastic sense of humor, she loves raspberries, draniki, Pushkin's poems, fantasy books, movies about love and people, studies the culture of different countries. She also has cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia. She never stood or walked on her own, without support. Polina moves at close distances with the help of a walker or the support of her parents, at long distances – only with the help of a stroller. Polina was born prematurely, at the 30th week of pregnancy, the girl was given almost no chance of life. The girl has a strong character, so Polina takes her chances from life herself: this year she successfully graduated from elementary school, rides a bicycle, does table tennis, downhill skiing, roller skating, rock climbing, kayaking, kayaking. The girl dreams of graduating from college, getting married, visiting Portugal, going to a concert of her favorite singer Enrique Iglesias and having children - simple dreams of an ordinary girl. Now Polina has a difficult period for any teenager. The diagnosis of cerebral palsy greatly affects the physical condition: already spasmed muscles do not have time to adapt to bone growth, and the skills acquired over the years are lost with new growth spurts. AFC home classes, joint development, treadmill classes are Polina's way of life. Rehabilitation courses with specialists are mandatory four to six times a year. Without regular rehabilitation courses, the physical condition is rapidly deteriorating, this can lead to underdevelopment and contractures of the joints, curvature of the spine, a decrease in the volume of active movements, loss of the ability to walk with additional support, as well as improper formation and development of internal organs. Classes are planned for the next rehabilitation course at the DCA "Rodnik": adaptive physical education, taping, classes in the Gross simulator, general massage, hand therapy, reflexology. As a result, Polina will strengthen her back muscles and learn to keep her balance better, relax spastic muscles, work out joints and properly verticalize in special equipment. Polina needs your help in paying for the next rehabilitation course!
