It has been a few months since Eva got used to the upright position and leg support thanks to her new verticalizer. It is not possible to put the child lying down at once: the verticalizer allows you to fix the baby's body in the correct position, and increase the angle of the backrest several degrees a day until the child is in an upright position. The time of such sessions is also increased gradually.

Now Eva is already standing confidently and for a long time in the verticalizer. Finally, she can see the world from a standing position - and she likes it much better. A special table is attached to the simulator: the girl's mother Alsu scatters beads on it, puts paints and paper on it, arranges toys - and just standing turns into a real developmental activity.

SMA was a fatal disease not so long ago. Thanks to medication, Eva will live. And thanks to you, she will be able to cope with muscle atrophy. Thank you.

About the campaign

Eva has SMA - spinal muscular atrophy. She needs a standing aid to learn how to stand and walk

Eva has type 1 spinal muscular atrophy. Previously, children with this diagnosis did not live to be 2 years old - the body gradually became weaker, the smooth muscles atrophied, and the child stopped breathing. But the state allocated 150 million rubles for the most expensive medicine in the world for little Eva, and her disease no longer progressed. Now she will live, and she has every chance to regain muscle function - to learn to sit, walk, and run.

But this requires rehabilitation. Eva is advised to start getting used to the upright position now, so that one day she will be able to take her first step and walk. She needs a good vertical positioner, which is not only suitable for such a baby, but also grows with her.

Unfortunately, the region where Eva lives does not buy such models. And parents cannot cope with the purchase. Let's help Eva to forget about her disease, and just live like all children!
