Dear friends, thank you for your help in collecting for Anton's rehabilitation! Thanks to you the boy was able to attend another course and become one step closer to walking using a walker.

Anton has a severe form of cerebral palsy and many accompanying complications. Anton's mom is not giving up and the boy is diligently following the necessary procedures.

You helped Anton to attend another rehabilitation course, and now the boy has improved his general coordination, increased independence in hand movements. Anton's speech comprehension has improved and he is able to follow simple instructions - take, give, knock and others.

There is still a lot of work ahead, but you have brought Anton's dream of walking on a walker closer, thank you very much!

About the campaign

Anton has cerebral palsy. He needs rehab

Anton has been growing up in foster care since he was 4 months old. The parents at the orphanage were not informed about his nervous system disorders, and the diagnosis of cerebral palsy was not made until close to one year old.

Because of the epilepsy treatment, Anton could undergo his first rehabilitation only at age 4. By then, he was unable to stand up, sit, talk, or eat solid food. Any movement caused pain because of spasms of the muscles. It took several courses of gymnastics, massages, and lessons with a speech therapist for the boy to learn to chew solid food, sit up, and try to stand up.

Every day his mother works with Anton: he tries to unclench his fists, develops his mind, and hopes that his son will be able to walk using a walker. The next course of rehabilitation is needed not only for the boy to learn to move around. Classes are also needed so that he does not lose the skills that Anton built up with great difficulty.

Mom's resources are almost used up: she has taken out several loans to pay for rehabilitation of her son, and she does not have enough for the next course. Let's help Anton learn to walk on a walker!
