Nastya was born almost 3 months prematurely and weighed only 950 grams. At the age of one and a half, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Her intellectual abilities are fully preserved. She is in her third year of college studying Commerce, takes part in wheelchair dancing, and works on her speech in a theatre studio.
Doctors recommend that Nastya undergo treatment every six months, but after reaching adulthood it becomes very difficult to receive assistance, while regular rehabilitation is essential with this diagnosis. Her parents do everything possible to ensure that she can undergo rehabilitation at least once a year, and they also do a great deal themselves at home. But professional help is essential: massage therapists, specialists in therapeutic exercise and physiotherapy, as well as special equipment.
This autumn Nastya is planning to undergo rehabilitation at the Sakura Centre in Chelyabinsk. The amount required is 2,150 euros.
