Hi, my name is Kateryna, and I'm fundraising for Mathew. He is my god-son, a sweet 5 year old boy - сlever, kind, tender, charming, small weak boy with a big heart! He likes animals and knows all their names in 3 languages. He dreams of escaping to Africa and setting up his own zoo.

But he was unfortunate to be born with a light form of Cerebral Palsy, which only affects his legs and makes him impossible to walk. After 5 years of hard work, which his parents had spent dedicatedly trying to heal him at the best clinics of Ukraine and Europe, finally the hope of a cure was found.

Mathew was approved for SDR and PERCS surgeries by Doctor Park at St. Louis Children's Hospital in USA. The surgery was scheduled for December 2021.

The last step that had left is to help Mathew's family to find money for the surgery - 60 000 USD. This sum is something enormous for an ordinary family from Ukraine, but I believe that this world is full of kind people who care a lot and who can help Mathew to undergo his illness, start walking and eventually implement all his dreams!

Just think about that a day without a cup of coffee can help a child to start walking!
