Idris was born into a big, close-knit family. He is lucky - the baby is never bored, because there is always one of his many brothers and sisters around, always ready to play. His favorite game is hide-and-seek.
His mother says with a smile: "Idris has been bringing us nothing but joy for two years now. He is a cheerful and lively boy. He has a sweet tooth. His favorite dessert is ice cream. Even when we go to the store, my son will always find an ice cream fridge and convince me to buy the cherished treat."
The baby deftly twists the rims of the tiny active stroller and smiles openly at the world. He can't feel his legs and can't walk because of a complex malformation, spina bifida. This is when the spine does not close completely and the spinal cord comes out, forming a hernia. The malformation develops in utero. The causes are unknown.
Immediately after birth, the baby had back surgery. But, unfortunately, the consequences could not be avoided. Idris can't feel his legs. Yes, the active baby carriage gave him mobility. He rushes in it faster than the wind. But his feet, obeying the law of gravity, tend to the ground. To maintain the correct position of the feet, to prevent the development of contractures and other secondary complications, the baby needs braces. These are special plastic shoes that are made from impressions of Idris's feet.
It is difficult for a family with many children to pay for such necessary technical means on their own, and they also can not get them under IPRA, because Idris does not have citizenship. Let's help the smiling baby! Let his feet be in the right position!
