Thanks to you, Dima went through another course of rehabilitation. The boy is recovering after a brain surgery and heavy treatment.

Dima tried very hard, every day he had exercises with an instructor of physical therapy. There were a lot of exercises to restore balance, so that the child could feel his balance again. Intensive exercises helped to strengthen his back muscles and improve movement of his hip joints. Specialists at the center conduct all the exercises in the form of a game, so that the child would be interested, and this is very important.

Now Dima is at home, but he does not forget to do special exercises and works with a speech therapist.

"For us it's not just a rehabilitation course - it's a movement forward, an opportunity to learn to walk confidently, to restore motor skills. You help us to believe in ourselves and move forward. My son dreams of riding his favorite bicycle again. I am sure that thanks to your support, his dream will come true for sure!" - says Dima's mother.

Dima needs rehabilitation after cancer

For more than a year Dima has been fighting a serious cancer disease. He underwent a complicated brain surgery, eight blocks of polychemotherapy, proton therapy. Now he is under dynamic observation, and every three months he has a control examination.

The disease receded, but it changed his gait, speech, speed and reaction time. The boy now has muscle weakness on the right side of his body, his coordination of movements is impaired, it became difficult to keep his balance while walking. He is re-learning how to read and pronounce sounds clearly. He needs rehabilitation, he has good potential. Classes with experienced specialists, neuropsychologists, defectologists, physical therapy instructors will help him restore the lost skills. His mother could find money for the first course, and then the money ran out. It is necessary to preserve the hard-won skills and develop new ones.

The Galileo center is waiting for Dima and has prepared an individual program for him, but they only charge for sessions.

Let's help Dima undertake the necessary course of rehabilitation and become strong and agile again!
