Leonek jest wcześniakiem urodzonym w 30 tygodniu ciąży, od pierwszych chwil swojego życia walczącym o zdrowie i sprawność. Pierwsze dwa miesiące od momentu narodzin Leon spędził w szpitalu w stanie zagrożenia życia. Na oddziale intensywnej terapii przeszedł kilka groźnych infekcji, miał kilkukrotnie przetaczaną krew, przez większość czasu był podłączony do respiratora.

W konsekwencji problemów okołoporodowych Leon jest dzieckiem niepełnosprawnym, które porusza się tylko z pomocą sprzętu ortopedycznego.

Mimo niepełnosprawności Leon jest chłopcem niezwykle pogodnym, aktywnym i ciekawym świata. Uwielbia spędzać czas na świeżym powietrzu, spełnia się również przy wszelkich działaniach artystycznych takich jak malowanie, rysowanie. Leon wykazuje niebywały potencjał jeśli chodzi o aspekty intelektualne. Ocena rozwoju przeprowadzona w Specjalistycznej Poradni Psychologiczno Pedagogicznej plasuje go na równi z jego rówieśnikami. Mając na uwadze dalszy rozwój Leonka planujemy posłać go do przedszkola terapeutycznego.

Gwarancją skuteczności prowadzonej rehabilitacji jest zakup specjalistycznych ortez AFO z ruchomym stawem skokowym. Taki sprzęt ortopedyczny umożliwi osiągnięcie znaczących postępów w zakresie rozwoju motorycznego Leonka. Zastosowanie odpowiednich ortez jest związane z higieną aparatu ruchowego, gwarantuje wypracowanie prawidłowej sekwencji ruchu w procesie chodzenia. Ortezy zminimalizują zagrożenie podwichnięciem stawów biodrowych, na które narażone są dzieci z problemami ruchowymi kończyn dolnych.

Postawienie Leona na nogi jest ogromną szansą nie tylko na uzyskanie podstawowej sprawności w samodzielnym poruszaniu się. W ten sposób możemy dać Leonkowi szansę na poznanie świata zewnętrznego a także umożliwić mu socjalizację z rówieśnikami. Mamy nadzieję, że w ten sposób zmniejszone zostanie ryzyko wykluczenia, które dotyczy wszystkich osób z niepełnosprawością.

Codzienność naszej rodziny to żmudna i wymagająca ogromnego zaangażowania walka o zdrowie Leonka. Zakup ortez wiąże się z bardzo wysokimi kosztami. Niestety sprzęt ten na chwilę obecną nie jest objęty refundacją NFZ. Z tego powodu zwracamy się do wszystkich osób chętnych pomóc w sfinansowaniu rehabilitacji Leonka o wsparcie i wpłaty. 

Za okazaną do tej pory pomoc serdeczenie dziękujemy!

Rodzice Leonka.

Leon is an early child born in the 30th week of the pregnancy. From the first moments of his life he has been struggling to regain his health and dexterity. The first two months Leon spent in critical condition at the hospital's Intensive Care Unit. He has been through several dangerous infections, blood transfusions and has been connected to a respirator.

As a result of post birth problems Leon is handicapped and relies on special orthopedic equipment to navigate the world.

Despite his disability Leon is a very cheerful, charismatic, active child eager to explore the world around him. He loves spending time in the fresh air but also lets his artistic side show with painting and drawing. Leon shows great promise and potential when it comes to the intellectual side of his development. The assessment of the Specialist Child Psychological Clinic judges him to be at the same level as his peers. Having this in mind we are planning to enroll him in a therapeutic kindergarten.

To guarantee the successful rehabilitation of Leon we need to purchase a special AFO orthosis with a flexible ankle. This equipment would allow the child to make significant progress in terms of mobility development. Using such orthosis is beneficial for overall mobility and proper movement sequence while walking. It minimises the risks of hip dislocation which is common to children with lower extremity mobility issues.

Getting Leon “back on his feet” is a huge chance not only for allowing him to walk unassisted but for allowing him to take the world in in full, exploring both the environment as well as socialising with his peers. We hope that this will keep Leon from being outcast, which so often happens to children with disabilities.

The day to day of our family is a constant, excruciating struggle for Leon’s health. The purchase of the orthosis is a very costly endeavour. Unfortunately the equipment we currently have access to is not refunded by the government. Therefore we turn to you, people of good heart, who would be willing to help us in financing the rehabilitation of Leon with donations. Help us to secure a happy childhood and life beyond for our son.

We are deeply thankful for all the support that we have received thus far. God bless you!
