IBRAHIM'S FUNDRAISING IS CLOSED!
The boy was born in Baikonur (Kazakhstan) as the long-awaited third child in his family. His parents dreamed he would grow up strong and healthy, but soon after birth, doctors noticed a small dimple in his sacral area. After initial examinations, he was preliminarily diagnosed with Spina Bifida. In December 2024, his parents secured an in-person consultation with Israeli Professor Shimon Rohkind—a world-renowned specialist in treating Spina Bifida—who even traveled to Astana.
The doctor confirmed the diagnosis and delivered the crucial news: Ibrahim has a chance to avoid the irreversible consequences of this dangerous condition, but the surgery must be performed as soon as possible, before he reaches 1.5 years of age. Ibrahim is now making his first attempts to stand and walk, yet early verticalization in his case may lead to complications. That’s why it’s imperative to ensure he receives surgical treatment at Assuta Clinic while he is still not walking.
Thanks to your kind hearts and a great friend of our foundation, the full amount needed for Ibrahim’s surgery has been raised. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this important fundraiser!
On April 30, Ibragim underwent surgery at the Assuta clinic in Israel. Professor Shimon Rochkind successfully performed everything planned: he released the spinal cord and nerve roots from tethering. According to the neuromonitoring results, there are already improvements.
We wholeheartedly wish our little hero Ibragim a smooth and speedy recovery after the surgery.
