Report

Denis Zhulin is 8 years old. The boy has cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia. For 5 years Denis and his mother have been going to the same Sports and Recreation Center for people with disabilities.

Despite the difficult diagnosis, thanks to professionalism of doctors and his mother's care he learned to make his first steps. Denis is getting stronger with every rehabilitation session. His gait is becoming more confident and his legs are getting stronger.

Natalya, the boy's mother, says: "I am encouraged by the fact that Denis is trying, he wants to do everything on his own. And the most important thing - there is a result, which gives me strength to keep on fighting.

Thanks to the kindness of all of you, Zhulin's family managed to pay for the rehabilitation course. Classes were aimed at strengthening the leg and back muscles, and we also worked with a speech therapist to improve Denis's speech and writing.

Thank you for your kindness and participation!

About the campaign

Denis needs rehabilitation to start walking on his own!

Denis Zhulin is 8 years old. The boy has cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia. He needs a course of rehabilitation at the Adeli-Penza Sports and Recreation Center for People with Disabilities. The boy's family consists of two people - he and his mother Natalia. This year Denis is taking his first steps towards a new, serious and interesting adult life - he is going to his first grade! For the last 5 years Denis and his mother go to the same physical health and rehabilitation center for disabled people Adeli - Penza. Natalya says that doctors there are real miracle workers. During this time Denis has made great progress: he reads, solves examples, knows the multiplication table by 2, writing is difficult, but the boy works hard and believes in himself. Now Denis is walking with the help of his mother, but he is already making some steps on his own and he is very happy about that. The Zhulins family is planning to keep moving towards their goal - to learn Denis to walk without the help of others. In order to achieve this it is necessary to continue the regular rehabilitation. Together we can help Denis and Natalija to get closer to that goal!
