From early childhood Ignat has been fighting his illness. He recently underwent hip osteotomy surgeries. Doctors warn that without further treatment and rehabilitation, contractures will worsen, especially during the period of hormonal growth. One treatment option is the installation of a baclofen pump, but unfortunately this method is not available in Kazakhstan. Doctors recommend surgery followed by mandatory rehabilitation in China. Ignat has preserved intellectual abilities, attends a regular school, and is now in 5th grade. His mother is raising him alone; he has no close relatives and no financial means to pay for the surgery and the long rehabilitation needed to secure the results. Amount needed: €18,000.
