<\/a> Since birth Maxim has been undergoing rehabilitation which only prevents deterioration but does not allow him to stand. Strong spasticity in the legs prevents walking; at home he moves on all fours, outside \u2013 in a wheelchair. Without surgery dislocations and severe pain may occur.
\nMaxim loves playing with a ball and watching other children run. To be able to stand and walk he needs SPML surgery at IASO clinic in Greece. The operation is scheduled for April 2026. Cost \u2013 26,950 euros. The family asks for help.<\/p>\n
