Maksym Martyniuk

History and appeal from the words of the guardian:

“Good afternoon! I am applying for help to the I Dream to Live Foundation. I am the guardian of Maksym Martyniuk, born on January 27, 2017. Maxim was born at 35 weeks gestation. His mother's liver was failing, and she lost her heartbeat. He was born as a result of a cesarean section, 1990 grams. We were in the intensive care unit. The child developed very poorly, at 10 months he only sat down, at 1.5 years old he had 3 viral infections within a month: chickenpox, coxsackie virus, cytomegalovirus.

He had up to 30 seizures a day. As a result of brain damage, the child stopped talking, walking, sitting. At the age of 1.5 years, everything started all over again, sitting, crawling, walking, speech did not stop. Constant rehabilitation, classes with a speech therapist, psychologist. He was diagnosed with disability at the age of 3, subgroup A at the age of 5. Constant rehabilitation is needed. At the age of 5, she spoke her first words, and now we are also engaged in constant rehabilitation. At the age of 21, my mom and dad were deprived of their rights because they are alcohol addicts.

At the age of 22, as a result of a missile strike near our house, after stress, I was diagnosed with stage 2 diabetes. We constantly take medication for 3 months as a result of stress gained 25 kg. Diagnosed with Fas We live in Rivne. The child does not serve himself, is constantly in diapers, does not understand that he needs to go to the potty, although I constantly teach him. This year we have home schooling, since the child does not serve himself and has seizures, we take Depakine on a regular basis. After the rehabilitation, there are steps forward, and after a while, a setback. He still needs to undergo urology surgery, Maksym has testicles in his scrotum, but this will be done at the age of 10. Maksym also has strabismus and asegmatism, glasses were prescribed, but Maksym broke them, until he was told not to wear them, as he does not understand that it is important for him and can break them.

We really need rehabilitation now. Classes with a psychologist, speech therapist, massage, exercise therapy, swimming pool. We are asking the Foundation to help us, as rehabilitation will improve Maxim's life and well-being for further development.”

At the moment, the rehabilitation course at the NGO “ON THE WINGS OF DREAMS” is needed for a total amount of UAH 25 050.

LET'S CREATE GOOD TOGETHER!!!
