The Diema’s Dream Foundation has been helping one of the Step Towards Charity Program wards, Oleg L. Thanks to your help and support, we managed to pay for the necessary rehabilitation course in January 2021 and could help Oleg. However, this course was unusual for the young man, due to the fact that Oleg’s mother got sick with coronavirus, and therefore the dates of rehabilitation had to be changed urgently.
Oleg L., born in 2003, required: a rehabilitation course at the children’s habilitation center Rodnik, St. Petersburg at a cost of 276,725 rubles.
Diagnosis: cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis.
The complex of procedures for the summer offsite sports and recreation course included the following activities:
– Adaptive physical education (60 min), 22 classes;
– Adaptive swimming (30 min), 21 classes;
– Complex lesson for normalization of muscle tone (60 min), 22 classes.
As a result of the course, we can observe positive changes in the muscles of his back, support function of the feet has improved.
You can learn more about the rehabilitation course from this letter of Oleg L.’s mother:
“Unfortunately, due to the illness, we could not come to the full course, so we decided to do everything and undergo rehabilitation on a double scale. After all, Oleg is already 18 years old, and he is able to withstands the increased exercise.
Rehabilitation was successful. Adaptive physical education and massage did their job. The development of joints, warm-up, exercises on the mat, at the Swedish wall, training in the right gait, stretching, strengthening the muscles of the legs, arms and back, and then massaging the whole body to relax and strengthen the muscles – all this helped Oleg’s gait. Now he began to move inside and outside with more confidence. Of course, with my help, with the help of crabs, but he began to walk around the room with more confidence on his own as well. Exercises in the pool were also aimed at relaxing the muscles and practicing certain exercises in the water. Such an intensive complex will enable Oleg to keep his body in the right shape for a long time.
Many thanks to the Diema’s Dream Foundation for the opportunity to undergo rehabilitation at the Rodnik Center. Thanks to all the people who took part in fundraising for Oleg.

And it will bring unimaginable happiness!
Thanks again for your help and support!
Sincerely, the family of Oleg L.”
