Milana, who has a limb deformity, courageously underwent a second surgery! Now she’s one step closer to a pain-free childhood!

On August 29, 11-year-old Milana Petrova underwent a second surgery on her joints. The cost of the medical procedures and supplies was UAH 147,000. Six months after her first surgery, the girl took another major step forward. This is another critical step toward moving without painful spasticity, playing with her sister, and growing.
Milana was born with cerebral palsy and spastic tetraparesis. Due to her condition, her legs were deformed, and every movement caused pain. Additionally, in March 2024, the family lost their home in Kryvyi Rih to a missile strike. Although the apartment was only lightly damaged, they were forced to rent a new place to live. Despite these hardships, Milana's parents have not given up fighting for their daughter's health, and she still dreams of a life without restrictions.
With your support, this dream can become a reality. Even after setbacks and trials, the child can now look forward to a future where she can smile and move freely. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the fundraiser to cover Milana's medical care and surgeries!You can support other vital projects and help seriously ill Ukrainian children and teenagers here: https://248.dp.ua/projects.
