Yulia is a cheerful girl who does not let her diagnosis get the best of her. She was born with spina bifida, a congenital spinal malformation in which the spine is not fully formed at the stage of intrauterine development. This disease requires numerous surgeries and long rehabilitation, as well as careful observation by medical professionals.

Despite all the difficulties, Yulia does not give up. She leads an active lifestyle like any teenager. But her old wheelchair could no longer cope with the girl's needs and every day brought more and more discomfort.

Thanks to tuber, we successfully closed the collection and bought a wheelchair for Yulia! Here is what the girl writes to us: “I am immensely grateful to everyone who supported me. This is not just a wheelchair, but an opportunity to lead a full life. I am happy and full of energy to move forward!” - says Yulia with a smile.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the collection!

About the campaign

Julie's diagnosis is spina bifida and she needs a wheelchair to get around comfortably!

Yulia was born with multiple congenital malformations, including a heart defect and spina bifida. At one year old, the girl underwent surgery to correct the heart defect. Recovery was long and difficult, but the parents make every effort to improve their daughter's health.

After spinal cord surgery in 2017, Yulia stopped walking and now moves around in a wheelchair. Now the stroller has become small in size as Yulia has grown. The girl needs a new stroller that will fit her in size and take into account the peculiarities of her body structure. With a new stroller Yulia will be able to go to school, to extra classes, to walk and to travel!

Let's give Yulia a stroller that she needs and that she can use for many years to come!
