Five years of daily work, struggle, and small victories have passed almost unnoticed. Despite all discouraging predictions, today Artem already walks with support, is learning to move using a walker, and even begins to climb stairs on his own.
Artem is a very smart boy: he can count to 100 and backwards from 20 to 0. Learning letters is still a bit more difficult, but thanks to the persistence of his parents and Artem himself, these challenges are gradually being overcome.
Artem’s mother, Anastasia, shares good news:
“Just before his fifth birthday, Artem lost two baby teeth, and new ones are already growing. And most importantly — we finally removed the gastrostomy tube! Now Artem eats fully and independently. But despite everything we’ve already achieved, there is still a long road ahead. He is currently in a period of active growth, so rehabilitation cannot stop for a single moment.”
In July, Artem is expected to undergo a two-month rehabilitation course costing 45,500 hryvnias. (Approximately 1010 USD)
Every contribution is another step toward new achievements and a more independent future for the boy.
We would be sincerely grateful for any support and sharing of Artem’s fundraising campaign.
