Your Support Creates Change for Mariyka

By Viktoriia Cherednychenko | President of the Charitable Foundation KYIAN

Thanks to your ongoing support through the GlobalGiving platform, little Maria was able to complete another important rehabilitation course.

Maria has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis. For her, every rehabilitation course is a new step in development, a chance to strengthen her skills and move closer to independence.

During this stage, Maria attended:

  • physical therapy,
  • massage therapy,
  • speech therapy,
  • sensory integration sessions.

This course was individually tailored to best support her physical and speech development.

Thanks to the completed procedures, we are already seeing great improvements!

  • Maria has become more active and attentive.
  • She developed a pointing gesture - an important step in communication.
  • She began to produce more new sounds.
  • She is calmer and more confident in her movements.

A Mother’s Gratitude

Maria’s mother shares her heartfelt feelings after completing the course:

“I am Maria’s mother. I sincerely want to thank the ‘Kyyan’ Foundation and the GlobalGiving platform for the opportunity to undergo this rehabilitation. Each course brings us new changes. For us, this is priceless. Your support is our hope. You are incredible!”

We sincerely thank every donor who contributed to this cause. It is thanks to your support that Maria now has the chance to develop, smile, and experience a childhood without pain.

There is still much work and many courses ahead, as the path to independence is long. But with your continued support, it becomes possible.

Together we change lives. Thank you for staying with us and believing in Ukrainian children!
With respect and gratitude,
The Kyian Foundation Team
