Vanya is 10 years old and is in his third year at school.
Ivan learned to swim at the age of 4 and now enjoys swimming very much. He travels around the world according to the books of Jules Verne. Dreams to travel in real life on a ship. He studied countries, capitals, continents and oceans using the Atlas of the World.
And Vanya also has spina bifida. It's a congenital disease, because of which Vanya's legs are paralyzed and he can't walk at all. And osteoporosis - increased bone fragility. At any unfortunate moment, Vanya may break, for example, his leg, and end up in a cast for a long time.
The charity foundation "Spina Bifida" is collecting funds to buy a verticalizer for Vanya, a tool for daily rehabilitation. It will allow him to stand safely. The verticalizer will help the inquisitive boy to minimize fractures, spend less time in hospitals, and devote more time to education and his favorite hobbies.
The opportunity to stand in a special support will improve the physical condition of the child, the condition of his respiratory and excretory systems, will serve as a prevention of osteoporosis, will avoid contractures of joints and, as a consequence, surgical intervention. It is impossible to get a standing machine from the state, because it is not included in the individual rehabilitation program.
Let's help Vanya see the world from his own height!
