Thanks to the generous support of donors through the GlobalGiving platform, Maria has recently completed another rehabilitation course that became an important step forward in her development.
Maria lives with cerebral palsy and spastic tetraparesis. For her, regular rehabilitation is not just treatment - it is a real opportunity to learn new skills, strengthen her body, and move closer to a more independent life.
This new rehabilitation course included a , :
physical therapy to improve strength, posture, and coordination,
massage therapy to reduce muscle spasticity and improve mobility,
speech therapy to stimulate communication and sound production,
sensory integration sessions to help Maria better perceive and respond to the world around her.
All sessions were individually planned according to Maria’s needs and current abilities.
We are happy to share encouraging progress:
Maria has become more active and engaged during sessions and at home.
She shows better control of her movements and feels more confident in her body.
Her attention and emotional stability have improved.
She is producing more sounds and reacting more actively to people and her environment.
Each small achievement is a big victory for Maria and her family.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who supports Maria. Because of you, she continues to move forward, learn, and smile despite all challenges.
The road ahead is still long, and Maria will need many more rehabilitation courses. But thanks to your continued support, this journey becomes possible step by step.
Together, we are changing lives. Thank you for believing in Ukrainian children.
With sincere gratitude,
The Kyian Foundation Team
