Artem is lying in a pile of maple leaves and laughing! The yellow leaves whirl around him because his mother throws them into the air, and the leaves tickle and delight the boy with every touch. Here, at this minute, in this pile of maple yellow joy, he is an ordinary child, and Masha is an ordinary mother.
Although their life is more like an endless struggle. At two months old, Tomka was diagnosed with a benign tumor in his eye. The first surgery, the second surgery, another surgery, after which Artem has forever stopped seeing this world with his right eye. The cause of retinal detachment was a congenital cetamegalovirus infection, which provoked the eye disease and cerebral palsy, which the baby is currently fighting. The family coped with the infection on their own. But the boy still needs help with rehabilitation!
Artem can sit up, move around the apartment by himself, play educational games and a tablet, eat solid food by himself, look at books, start to get up in his own bed, stand by the support and walk with the help of adults.
Artem has already achieved a lot! That is why we want to help the boy to speed up his recovery process and we wish him to be helped more by the professional help of the charity organization "Sakura".
The team of the "Geography of Good" Charity Fund believes in great hearts of people reading this story today! Together we will definitely be able to give Artem new skills, as well as the opportunity to play and learn among his peers!
