Alan was born with spina bifida and spinal cord damage.
Over the course of 5 years, the child underwent several operations, including removal of a hernia, plastic surgery of a spinal cord defect, and installation of metal plates in the hip joint. The plates will need to be removed soon. And unfortunately, the matter will not end with operations. To walk independently, a child diagnosed with spina bifida needs lifelong rehabilitation courses.
Every year Alan travels to Tyumen. Firstly, to stimulate nerve endings. Due to the diagnosis, the boy has poor feeling in his lower extremities and cannot control the urge to go to the toilet, so he wears diapers. Secondly, to undergo an MRI to monitor the fixation of the spinal cord after surgery.
Dear benefactors, we are asking for your help in purchasing a lightweight cane stroller for transportation. Alan cannot walk long distances. When walking, his feet turn inward, and the boy quickly gets tired and mostly moves in a wheelchair, with which it is impossible to visit hospitals, rehabilitation, and travel to other cities.
It is heavy, does not fold and does not fit into car trunks. Sometimes Asemgul has to carry Alan in her arms, but the woman herself has serious health problems. Including the spine. For this reason, a single mother does not have the opportunity to work. The family lives on one pension.
As long as Alan has positive dynamics, he needs to move forward and achieve his goals so that he can walk in the future!
