Help Needed for Polina, Stepan, and Yaroslav

Polina, Stepan, and Yaroslav have different diagnoses, but they share a common path — moving forward step by step: toward their first words, new movements, emotional connection.

These children have already overcome many challenges, and thanks to the dedicated work of specialists and parents, the first results are becoming visible: Polina responds better to spoken language, Stepan sits confidently and is learning to stand with support, and Yaroslav has learned to count and looked into someone's eyes for the first time. Such achievements are only possible with continuous professional support. A break in rehabilitation can mean a step backward, potentially undoing the progress already made.

In August, the children are scheduled for another round of rehabilitation. The total amount needed is approximately 76,000 UAH (around $1,814 USD). These funds will give them the chance to take the next important step — toward development and a better life.

Every day, these children’s parents give their all so their little ones can have a chance at a full life. But without your support, they won’t manage. Let’s stand by them!
