«I approach you with great prayer, faith and hope.
I was born three months after Chornobyl tragedy, in July 1986. Since childhood I have had disability of 1st group. I had spina bifida resected when I was almost a year-old. Luckily I survived, because surgery of this type is not performed in such age. From Kyiv hospital I was discharged with diagnosis ‘Myelodysplasia. Condition after surgery on hydrocephalus of myelocele in the form of bad bottom paresis with harsh depression of ambulation and pelvic organs function’. Up to now I am not able to walk. I use diapers and stay in the wheelchair all the time.
