Masha will soon be ten. She has cerebral palsy. When she joined her foster family five years ago, she could only get around in a wheelchair. Today, Masha walks, runs, and even reads—things the doctors didn't believe were possible. The girl's "new wish" is to learn how to jump. It would seem a modest goal, but for Masha it is a huge step towards a fulfilling life. Now she and her parents are practicing around the table: she jumps, tries again and again. Masha is incredibly stubborn and purposeful — when she succeeds, she beams with joy, when she does not, she is nervous, but she never gives up. In a regular school, the girl is helped by a tutor, but she tries to do everything by herself. She writes, although it's a stretch due to the diagnosis, and she's learning and keeping up with her peers. Masha is kind, funny and responsive, a real fighting girl. In a large family with two more adopted children. It is very difficult to pay for another rehabilitation. But it was the recovery courses that helped Masha get back on her feet. Now we need new classes to consolidate our progress — to improve balance, coordination, and muscle strength. Help the girl to jump to her dream! Each rehabilitation brings her closer to the simple happiness of childhood — to run, jump and live a full life.
