Dear Friends!
We thank you for your support of our project!
We want to share with you the news of the Ilya’s rehabilitation. After his birth, the boy suffered a ischaemic stroke. Now he lives with diagnoses such as spastic tetraparesis, delayed psycho-speech development.
We paid for 160 individual courses of swimming therapy lessons with a coach.
Here is what his mother writes about his results of the sessions: “Swimming is the most important therapy step of Ilya’s rehabilitation. These activities allow the hip joints to develop. Now, he can take a short walk and stand without support.
In the pool, he has many activities. For example, he bends both legs to the sides, floats on his back a little and swims with his legs straight. We go to the pool three times a week and our coach says that my son will learn to do everything! He supports my son.”
All this became possible thanks to you - thank you very much!
