I wish to express my deepest gratitude for the help in finding money for surgery to my boys, Yaroslav and Danil. Also, many thanks to Maxim Karagodin. He has spent the whole day with us in the clinic, and accompanied us to all rooms. I can’t even imagine what we would do without him. The surgeries were successful. We are already at home. Now there will be a restoration. They will begin to study soon: at the moment, only on Skype, since they still have to lie.

Already for two years Mashenka has been cared by the volunteers of the Orthodox Diaconia “Good Deed.” Masha’s momother says: “What little one she came here in 2017, suffering from convulsions and bouts of epilepsy. Today she simply cannot be recognized.” Volunteers helped with translations by the orthopedist, Mashenka has new orthoses, she will be able to continue pedaling her Motomed VAVA 2 , which was purchased on donations from caring people with the help of Diaconia. Doctors give positive forecasts, Masha only needs time, patience, systematic treatment and rehabilitation.
The mother thanks everyone involved in these miracle changes with Masha. And we also heartily thank all those who helped and are helping Mashenka and all our care-receivers.
HURRY TO DO GOOD, FRIENDS!
