We thank everyone who helped Sonya has been rehabilitated!

Sonya has spina bifida, and recently the girl underwent a difficult operation on her back muscles. After the operation, the girl began to have a curvature of the spine due to the tension of the spinal cord and the movements of her legs worsened. Galileo Center specialists have selected a set of exercises to strengthen the muscles of the back and abdomen, improve posture, breathing and the functioning of the shoulder joints. Thanks to rehabilitation, Sonya continues to develop the ability to cope in everyday life without a stroller.

Here's what Sonya's mother says:

“Thanks to your help, I hope we will be able to stop further curvature. With each rehabilitation, Sofia becomes stronger and more confident on her feet. Thank you very much. Everything that Sofia has achieved in life and sports happened thanks to your help and support!”

Thank you for your help!

About the campaign

Sonya has spina bifida: in order to let her move without a wheelchair more freely, she needs rehabilitation

Sonya ended up in an orphanage at an early age, as her parents realized that they could not cope with the girl’s severe disability. Sonya has spina bifida and other diagnoses, so she spends most of her life in a wheelchair.

Sonya's foster mother took Sonya home, and for many years now the girl has not given up and regularly attends rehabilitation. Sonya is active and persistent, it is important for her to play her favorite sports, run and dance, even if she is in a wheelchair.

Each rehabilitation allows Sonya to make more independent steps, it also reduces pain when moving and improves control of her body. In March, Sonya will have another rehabilitation, where she will further develop control over her body, reduce pain and get out of her wheelchair more often.

The cost of the course for Sonya's adoptive mother is very high; she cannot pay for it on her own. But together we can help Sonya so that the girl does not get a setback in the skills she earned with such hard work, and despite everything she continues to dance and run!
