Larry is in pain





112,050 hryvnias were collected. The metal structure-implant is paid for. OPERATED.

A thirteen-year-old girl will be saved by spinal surgery.

Lera Pereverzeva lives with her mother and younger sister in Dnipro. The girl has severe scoliosis: a hump has formed on the right back, a depression on the left, and the chest organs are compressed. Larry found it difficult to breathe, her heart began to ache. Due to constant pain, the girl could not walk with friends, and was forced to transfer to partial home schooling. Spinal deformity progresses, the angle of curvature is almost 50 degrees and continues to increase. If surgery is not performed soon, Larry is in danger of complete immobility and disability.


Lera never talks about her hump, about the fact that her right shoulder is lower than her left, about the fact that she can’t reach her feet with her hands. He approaches the mirror, looks at himself in silence and leaves as if thinking why she was so unlucky, finds no answer, and leaves.

- Lera was born a healthy child. By the age of eight, the daughter grew up in a full-fledged family, she had a happy childhood, - says Yana, the girl’s mother. - But in 2015, I developed with my husband, and since then, he does not take part in the lives of children at all, and I raise two daughters alone - Lera 13 years old and Eve 5 years old.

The girl developed by age: she sat down in time, got up and started walking early. After all the medical examinations in front of the kindergarten and school, Larry’s hospital gave a certificate that the child was healthy. And only when the girl was 11 years old, during an examination at the local clinic, the doctor noticed a slight curvature of her spine.

- I never noticed anything like that, and I could not even think that it could be. After all, my daughter grew up active, she went to the pool at the age of five, and there were never any physical deviations, - Yana recalls. So, at the age of 11, in Lera’s medical certificate, there was an entry - scoliosis of the 3rd degree. The girl was prescribed massage, physiotherapy, swimming pool and wearing a Sheno corset, which Yana ordered in Kharkiv. Lera wore it constantly. But as it turned out, he did not help her. Lera’s back twisted more noticeably, a bump appeared on one side.

In 2019, Lera’s condition worsened, the girl began to experience severe pain in the back, legs, shortness of breath, heart failure.

- In July 2019, we applied to the Dnipropetrovsk Specialized Clinical Medical Center for Mothers and Children named after M.F. Rudneva. Doctors said that the curvature was progressing rapidly and had already reached the fourth degree, the combined form, only surgery could help.

- I see my daughter suffering. What pain he feels. My heart is torn with grief. After all, Lera is deprived of the opportunity to live a full, active life and be as happy as her peers. Due to her illness, she cannot ride a bicycle or walk with friends, play sports or sit at school for long.

The problem is that the operation that can save the girl and the metal structure to fix the spine cost a lot of money, which the girl’s mother does not have. And wait, there is no time. Scoliosis is actively progressing, and if not corrected, it will completely cripple Lera and lead to disability. Lera’s future depends only on us.

Good luck to her at last. There will be no hump. Lera will approach the mirror and will stand directly in front of the mirror. And the shoulders will be at the same height. And you can bend over and touch the toes with your fingers. And no shortness of breath and pain ...

Head of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology NUMK "University Clinic" Kharkiv National Medical University Dmitry Petrenko (Kharkov):"We were approached by a girl with a rapidly progressive spinal deformity. If surgery is not performed soon, scoliosis will lead to disability. Correction of curvature will not only improve the appearance of the child, improve its quality of life, but also eliminate the development of cardiopulmonary insufficiency, which develops with the progression of scoliosis.

The supplier of the metal construction-implant issued a bill for 112,050 hryvnias.
