November 10, 2018 is the day that divided the life of a young guy into “before” and “after”. Vlad rode from his grandmother on a motorcycle, and to meet a car – this is how an accident happened. Both Vlad and his mother twisted this day in their heads a hundred times, but time cannot be returned back. Before the accident, Vlad loved to play football, now he can only watch others play. During the accident, the guy’s spine was damaged, but after 3 years of rehabilitation, operations and treatment, he can already sit in a wheelchair, take the phone and hold the dishes. And after the accident, Vlad could not even move.

Vlad had dreams, but after the accident everything was erased – he has a dream, and now he has only one – to walk. To return to such a simple and familiar life for others again – when you can get up and go to school or to the yard with friends, help your mother. And the whole life of mom and Vlad became the only way to a common dream – for Vlad to start walking again. He is an adult and understands that this requires a lot of work, treatment, rehabilitation, and all this requires a lot of money. Now Vlad is finishing the 11th grade and plans to enter the university. He is still a child, but the child is an adult, and he understands perfectly well that the mother herself will not “pull out” everything.

We are asking you to help us raise funds for Vlad for a rehabilitation course at the Spine Recovery Center in Cherkasy. And we all believe that his dream will come true, and Vlad will be able to go out to his friends on his own, without a wheelchair.

36000 UAH

“I’m Lisa. I am 8 soon and I continue to write my story. To write, because I can’t tell all this yet. So far, I have some sounds, small words, but not sentences, not stories, not songs. After the last course, which my mother asked you to help, I had the best result. More letters, new words, I started jumping on my feet and even running a little. My mother and I continue to learn numbers, letters, because I have a dream – I want to go to school. I know other children don’t dream about it, some don’t want to, and my mother and I dream that I can go to school and study like others, and answer questions, and teach poetry, and retell long texts, all by myself!”.

After rehabilitation in Kiev, Lisa really became much more active, faster and more collected. Her diagnosis is early CNS damage, sagging legs, arms, tongue. That’s why Lisa still doesn’t know what her peers have learned for a long time – to talk, run, jump. And for the next course in March, plans for as many as 40 days of classes, corrections, exercises and treatment with rehabilitation specialists, speech therapists, specialists, so that even more new words appeared, the tongue became even more obedient, and strength appeared in the legs.

Lysa’s father is a priest, and her mother does not work, because she spends all her time with the girl and her brother, so the amount of UAH 36,000 is not affordable for the family. We ask for help to gather for the next rehabilitation course and help Lisa to speak.
