Artem is an orphan. He grew up in the orphanage in Bashkortostan Over the 10 years of his life, he has undergone several serious operations. He was born with multiple developmental disorders caused by intrauterine infection.
In Bashkortostan the doctors helped Artem get to his feet, but he walked unsteadily, lost his balance, and his body often did not obey him. It was very difficult for boy to realize that he could not cope without help to stand firmly on his feet.
Our foundation “Road of Life” brought Artem for treatment in Moscow. The doctors found out the cause of his leg problems and the boy underwent two operations. After operation he spent 6 weeks in cast/
Now he is recovering in the social center of the foundation. Doctors recommended him individual leg braces.
Thanks to your support we could gain leg braces for Artem and help him to fulfill his dream to walk independently without any help.
