Damian was born prematurely at 31 weeks and the doctors kept him a month on a drip. Month after month, Damian did not show signs of physiological development, and when he was 6 months old, the doctors gave him a terrible diagnosis - infantile cerebral palsy with spasms of the limbs, which means that the child cannot hold objects in his hand, cannot sit, etc. Shortly after that, the father of the child left us when Damian was only 1 year old. For the boy to undergo preventive treatment (regular massaged, medical gymnastics required medicines), I went abroad, leaving Damian with his grandmother.
Doctors said that a proper analysis and an adequate surgery may change his life. Damian is a quite active child, his mental faculties are developed in accordance with his age and he likes exploring the world around them. On my own, I do everything possible to maintain his condition, but every day I think that we have a chance to realize our dream – for Damian to be able to walk! I therefore appeal for help to people of good will, and I hope that the researches and the subsequent surgery abroad will put Damian on his feet and will give him a chance for a better life.
