15-YEAR-OLD ANYA WITH CP NEEDS PHYSICAL REHABILITATION
Anya Vovkodav was born a healthy baby. But when she was 1.5 years old, she suddenly stopped talking, picking up toys, and walking. It turned out that the child had a genetic disease - Rett syndrome. The family only found out about the serious diagnosis in 2020. Before that, doctors had only confirmed that the child had cerebral palsy.
Throughout her life, Anya's parents took an active interest in her health. She regularly worked with physiotherapists, took medication, including anti-epileptic drugs, and visited a massage therapist. At the age of 7, scoliosis was added to the difficult diagnoses. The disease progressed and in 4 years the curvature of the spine reached the IV degree.
The progression of scoliosis, together with other complications, caused problems with the functioning of the limbs and internal organs. The girl has serious defects in the gastrointestinal tract, has undergone oesophageal surgery, eats through a gastrostomy tube, and is constantly on medication.
Despite this, Anya is a happy, smiling girl who loves watching cartoons and playing with children. Unfortunately, at the age of 15, she does not sit, stand, walk or speak independently. However, the family does not lose hope and fights for every new ability of their daughter.
In January this year, the girl underwent an operation - metal plates were implanted in her spine. Now the child needs regular verticalisation and physiotherapy sessions. They cannot do without the professional help of specialists. Please help the family to pay for the medical services scheduled for September!
