children I Slavi's story
Slavi was born prematurely, suffers from secondary neurological disabilities
Slavi is an eight year old boy who suffers from hemiplegia on the right side of his body, mainly affecting his ability to walk. To save him from a traumatic surgical procedure, the Foundation stepped in and fitted him with a dynamic walking splint, enabling him to take his first normal steps! This was a very emotional moment for the boy and the medical team involved.
Support Costs: CHF 500 per annum*
* To be truly effective the therapeutic care must be extended to adulthood for these children. As they grow the equipment has to be adapted. This needs to be done on an annual basis.
