Yasmina Zhanatkysy

Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy

Yasmina was born ahead of schedule, in the seventh month, weighing only 1200 grams. And this has affected the health of the girl. In two years she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. However, Yasmina’s parents did not lose hope, and after much effort and help from doctors, the girl learned to walk. As she was five years old, she walked only on tiptoes. Parents decided to do the operation in a clinic in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. It was successful, but Yasmina had to learn to walk again.

Now Yasmina wears orthopedic shoes with special insoles. She undergoes rehabilitation courses in Petropavlovsk and Astana regularly. And these are the main expenses for the child’s health.
Despite the fact that you have to constantly take medical procedures, Yasmina grows cheerful, fun and communicative. She visits a correctional group in the kindergarten. She enjoys watching cartoons, listening to music, drawing, helping his mother at home. Likes to walk and especially spend time in nature.

Ahmed Abilov, Our kids

Ahmed Abilov

Ahmed Abilov was born on August 18, 2009.

The boy suffered a trauma, and after numerous examinations he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and a deep delay in development. But despite such serious diagnosis, Ahmed’s parents did not give up, they were taking care of their son. Thanks to the parents, Ahmed learned to turn, sit and even walk, though it happened as he was 4 years old. But that is a huge progress in the development and a great achievement for Ahmed.

The boy retained his intellect, and work with him produced a result that not everyone can achieve: Ahmed can walk, drink and eat independently. Ahmed can even go to the toilet on his own. For a healthy person, this sounds ordinary. But for a baby who has cerebral palsy, it’s such a huge achievement that it’s hard to believe!

Now the boy has a remission for epilepsy, that is, by choosing the right treatment, he managed to get rid of seizures. But it has to be constantly maintained by taking medicine. And the purchase of these drugs is a permanent article of expenses for his family. And here they need help.

Ahmed grows curious, likes to draw, tries to sculpt, shows interest in different training games. He constantly needs classes with a psychologist, speech therapist, defectologist, since Ahmed still has much to learn.

The boy is very well rehabilitated. And right now, during the growth period, it’s not a good idea to stop. We need to continue to do everything possible so that he can become a full-fledged person, able to realize all his capabilities.
