On the way to the rehabilitation center,rtem encouraged Polina like a true friend. Polina always feels a bit nervous during trips, but once she gets used to the new environment, you wouldn't recognize the girl. She is a favorite among the trainers—always completing all the tasks because she knows what goal she is striving for. And while she once spoke about walking as a dream, that dream has now become more significant: to walk unaided. Artem sometimes gets lazy, but he loves to practice—he says it's fun! He also has a dream: to run like all the other boys. He dreams of becoming either a builder or a firefighter, but he believes that running is necessary everywhere.

Each rehabilitation course brings the kids closer to their goals. They don’t have parents to take care of their health, but there are many caring people around them. Thank you, dear Toobers, for helping the kids on their journey toward their dreams!

About the campaign

Polina and Artem are orhans. They need to undergo rehabilitation to walk without support

They have been through a lot together. Once, eleven-year-old Polya from the Rovenki orphanage couldn't even smile, and due to severe spasticity, her hands were clenched and couldn't straighten. The girl could only move in a wheelchair. Today, she is painting and has taken her first independent steps, although with the support of crutches. Specialists say that it won't be long before she can take her first steps without support. Her peer Artem from the orphanage in Bashkortostan underwent several serious surgeries in early childhood, but they did not bring him closer to his dream of walking independently. Recently, he was operated on again at the CITO, where orthoses were made for him, and Artem now has every chance to realize his dream. But the children need rehabilitation. After each course, both show tremendous progress! Polya and Artem are once again expected at the "Galileo" center. We believe in them and ask for your support.
