Umida, Navid's mother, shares: “After we received the diagnosis, we were prescribed a medication that was not available in Kyrgyzstan. Even through the Ministry of Health, we couldn't obtain it, and I had to take my son to Moscow.”
Upon arrival, Umida contacted the charitable organization “House with a Beacon,” where she received assistance with examinations, medical facilities, and rehabilitation.
“In Moscow, we started taking the prescribed medication. However, soon Navid's condition worsened, and his legs began to turn inward, taking on a frog-like appearance. Then we went to Vladikavkaz, where a doctor performs operations for achilloplasty. Navid underwent surgery, and he spent two months in a cast to straighten his legs,” she shares.
After that, the boy underwent rhizotomy. Upon returning to Kyrgyzstan after treatment in Russia, Navid urgently requires regular and expensive rehabilitation in Bishkek, which his single mother cannot afford.
With tears in her eyes, the mother says: “Navid constantly cries and throws tantrums, saying, ‘I want to walk.’ It is very hard to hear this from my child. I try not to show him my weakness because I understand that if I break down, he will too.”
Umida appeals to all compassionate people: “I ask for help. Rehabilitation can truly restore my child's ability to move. He has no one but me. I want to get my son on his feet while I am still alive.”
