6. ELATMA
17 years old Kursin Andrey
Andrey is now 17 and there was a time when he could walk.
However, later he stopped waking and due to strong
spastics in hips area he tend to lie in the position of an
embryo.
Diema’s Dream organized Andrey’s examination by a
leading orthopedist, ordered special equipment and paid for
massages and special treatment sessions for the child.
Now Andrey can sit in a wheelchair without support and
even stand up when supported. However he is far from
being able to walk. Taking into account that he is quite big
and heavy for orphanage personnel to carry him anywhere,
he really needs a wheelchair to have any chance of
communicating outside the walls of his bedroom.

Korovichute Lena
Lena has a whole package of physical disabilities – her
feet are strongly deformed, she has strong spastics in
her hands (she keeps them bended) and, what’s worst of
all, her spine and therefore whole back is deformed.
After consultation with a leading doctor, purchase of a
firm corset and devices to support her legs, she learned
to stand up and, when supported, is learning to take a
few steps.
Notwithstanding this progress, Lena is not able to go
for a walk without a wheelchair.

Since Roma saw our gifts – the new
wheelchairs, he started asking us –
«What are these – new wheelchairs? Who
are these for? This is my wheelchair, isn’t
it?».
We answered it was a regard from Mary
and a present from very kind people from
a distant land.
Roma remembered Mary right away and
sent her the video-message.
Being quite a speaker Roma understands
the speech very well, and he could
probably tell us much interesting about
his uneasy life. But the most important
thing is that he could teach us positive
reaction to anything happening in this
world.
Roma is fond of listening to music and
dancing with his hands. He is sociable
and amicable. Extensively taking part in
different actions (holidays etc.) he needs
new wheelchairs to enlarge possibilities.
