Your help has opened up new facets of Ilya’s creativity!

At birth, Ilya was diagnosed with spastic diplegia, a severe form of cerebral palsy with multiple complications. Because of his illness, he never learned to stand or walk on his own. But despite the severe complications, Ilya draws very beautifully, loves to read books, especially about dogs and horses. He lost the ability to work with his hands, but took and developed an amazing ability to hold a brush with his mouth and create masterpieces. This year, together with our art therapist Masha, we were able to significantly develop Ilya's hand motor skills, and he gradually learned to hold brushes. This summer, his paintings were a great success when they participated in an exhibition of works by young adults called "Window to the World" at the Chuvashia State Art Museum. By supporting our collection, you will help prepare an exhibition of paintings by Ilya and ten talented children for the New Year. Our goal is to create an atmosphere of celebration and inspiration, uniting hearts and talents for a good cause.
