Stories of overcoming cerebral palsy

A farmer with cerebral palsy

Фермер с ДЦП

A farmer with cerebral palsy. Fate has not been kind to him since birth. Volodymyr Tonkonog was born with cerebral palsy. It is difficult for him to speak, it is difficult to walk and work with his hands. But this does not prevent him from communicating with dozens of friends, playing sports and being a farmer. He used to live in the city, but changed it to the countryside. Anyone who has worked in the garden at least once understands that working on the land requires great strength, patience and dedication. Volodymyr perfectly copes with all these difficulties. In order to grow strawberries, tomatoes or peppers in a harsh climate, he built a greenhouse. Himself. In order to have his own meat, he organized his own incubator. As you know, chickens are counted in autumn. So it is with Volodymyr - his pets can die of diseases, the garden can be flooded by a downpour. But these circumstances do not allow him to give up. On the contrary, he gets down to business with even greater zeal.
