Thanks to your support, Katya got leg braces, which help her to learn to walk!

Katya has been suffering from cerebral palsy since her birth. Her alcoholic parents could not create for her the necessary conditions, so that the girl ended up in an orphanage last august. Katya graduated from a special school. She can read and write, loves playing board and computer games and walking in the fresh air. During one of the fly-in missions to Petrovsk-Zabaikalsky orphanage the medical team of the fund “Doroga zhizni” diagnosticated that Katya had a great rehabilitation potential. And the fund brought Katya for operation to Moscow. It is very important now for her to develop the muscles which are got out of the movement and give them slowly a load. It will help Katya to be able to stand up on her own and to walk. Katya needs leg braces customized to fit her own measurements. These devices help to fix the leg in the correct position. Thanks to your support we could order leg braces for Katya and help her to relearn to walk!
