Thanks to everyone who participated in the collection and helped Vova and 27 other children with incurable diseases to get special wheelchair straps and weighted blankets!

Vova was born with a severe form of cerebral palsy and multiple concomitant diseases, because of which he cannot sit and walk on his own. Therefore, in order to prevent further health complications, Vova needs to constantly position himself correctly when he is sitting and when he is sleeping. Special straps for strollers and weighted blankets for high-quality and deep sleep were able to solve this problem.

Thanks to your support, 28 of our wards can sit properly in a wheelchair and improve the quality of their sleep. Thank you very much!
