Renate is 12 years old. She was born in a hurry and saw this world when she was 7 months old. Since birth, the girl has been fighting a musculoskeletal disorder. In spite of the doctors' unfavorable prognosis, regular rehabilitation courses have brought positive results. Renata can sit and walk by herself with special aids, she has preserved intellect. She is an intelligent and inquisitive girl, studying in a secondary school. She resolutely does not want to get into a wheelchair, that is why she takes rehabilitation courses diligently and almost without crying. This September Renata underwent surgery - selective dorsal rhizotomy. For the girl, this surgery is a step toward her dream, a step toward walking independently. After the surgery, doctors strongly recommend wearing ankle orthoses to avoid postoperative contractures. By supporting Renata, you will give her a chance to walk on her own. This is her most cherished dream!
