Vanya used to love going to kindergarten. By the age of five, he could already read and had a special interest in books about human anatomy. He could explain what leukocytes are and what makes up a cell. He wanted to become a doctor. But in August 2013, his life took a drastic turn.
His parents began noticing that Vanya was stumbling often, his walk became unsteady, and he seemed weak - constantly asking to lie down. This alarmed his mother. She took him to a neurologist. After thr results of MRI Vanya was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
⠀
A surgery to remove the tumor was performed in Solnechnogorsk where the boy lived, but afterward, the family moved to Solnechnogorsk (Russia, Moscow region) to continue his treatment. Vanya underwent radiation therapy in Moscow, which was successful but passed with severe complications: the areas of his brain responsible for coordination and swallowing were damaged. Vanya could no longer eat or sit up on his own.
⠀
Many years have passed since then. Vanya has undergone numerous rehabilitation programs. The most effective ones have been at the Guttmann Clinic in Spain. Thanks to these treatments, Vanya has partially recovered; he has gone from being bedridden to standing again and even walking with support.
⠀
To continue his progress, Vanya now urgently needs another course of rehabilitation at the Guttmann Clinic. Please help this child take another step toward his goal of being healthy again. Click the "Help" button and make any contribution you can.
