Ayaulym
Sarsenbayeva

Ayaulym is from the small town of Aktobe, Kazakhstan. She is growing up a cheerful girl, but a congenital malformation of the spine - spina bifida - limits her movements and worsens her condition every day. The girl really needs our help. 

Ayaulym was born at term by caesarean section. The fact that the girl had spina bifida became known immediately after her birth. Ayaulym had a bump in the area of the sacrum. Doctors performed an emergency operation to remove it. Over time, the baby's condition began to deteriorate significantly. Severe pains appeared, because of which she could not sleep, her left foot became deformed. Thanks to rehabilitation, the girl's condition was slightly relieved, but the deterioration continues to this day.

At the age of 5, Ayaulym does not walk yet. She moves only by crawling. The girl can sit, but cannot stand. Any activity causes her severe pain, so Ayaulym spends most of her time lying down. This greatly affects her physical development. The girl has progressive scoliosis. The disease is mercilessly taking away Ayaulym's childhood, but there is a chance to change the girl's life for the better and save her from disability.

Israeli professor Shimon Rohkind, who specializes in the treatment of spina bifida, is ready to give Ayaulim micro-neurosurgery at the Assuta Clinic. This treatment will help stop the deterioration and preserve the function of her legs and pelvic organs.

Ayaulym is brought up only by her mother. The father refused to give up the girl. Her mother could not raise 53,440 euros for the treatment of her only daughter and pay for the operation on her own. She needs our support and help very much.

The collection for Ayaulym Sarsenbayeva's treatment is closed!

Her treatment is scheduled for February. We are eternally grateful to our friends, subscribers and donors who give children a chance for a healthy future.

Feb. 13 Ayaulim underwent surgical treatment at the Assuta Clinic in Israel. The operation was a difficult one. Prof. Shimon Rohkind freed the spinal canal and roots from fixation and pathological tissue. Already during the operation, the signals from the legs improved significantly, and this is a very good sign. Ayaulym has a great potential that in the future she will be able not only to walk, but even to run. But in order to make this forecast come true, another orthopedic surgery on her feet and ankles is urgently needed. Ayaulym has preserved movements in her legs, she has sensitivity, and her muscles, though weakly, work. They must be developed, but it will be impossible to do it without surgical intervention. That's why we are opening an urgent surcharge for our ward Ayaulym Sarsenbaeva.
