YOUR LOVE PUT MY SON ON HIS FEET!

REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN!  HELP YOUR FRIENDS TO GET CLOSER TO THE WORK OF MERCY!

“It's like I was born again. There's a big difference between old Zakro and the current one, - Zakaria says about himself smiling. - Zakro, you knew before the project, was a closed, disappointed, unhappy person. God forbid he should ever come back. And the new Zakro is more active, more confident, and he, well, I mean me, has dreams and goals.”

Mama Maia blossoms from these words of her son, hugs him tightly and kisses him. Then she hugs me and the cameraman - for all of you, dear readers! “You see, we managed to do that! - says Maia. That's why I addressed the Fund - to give my son hope, to lift him out of his wheelchair.

Mama Maia can't get enough of the "new" Zakro. She's ready to kiss everyone who helped her son!

We did it! Zakaria, who spent many years in a wheelchair after a stroke at age 21, can now walk 3 meters on his own with a walker.   Then he takes a break - and then walks again! It is just the beginning! This is what happens when you give a person love and care.

- Zakaria, how well you are doing steps! You make us so happy!

Zakaria: If you only knew how happy I am to be able to step firmly on one foot and then the other! I'm sick to death of being chained to a wheelchair. 

I can walk three meters five or six times holding on to the bars, then I need to rest, and then I can do some more. Then that's it - my legs get really strained. But before rehab I never even dreamed of doing what I do now. I was only doing squats, and then I sat in the wheelchair and could only stand up on my toes. I was getting tired very quickly. Now I can work out on the exercise machine after a walk. The Fund supported me a lot - from the first day my mother addressed them, I feel the attention.

- What would you say to those people who helped you?

Zakaria: I read all the Facebook post comments and cheered silently. There were such strong, warm words of encouragement! They lifted my spirit. When my mom and I went to the balneotherapy center, I was in seventh heaven. I haven't seen people for many months, I was just watching TV. And there are other people, attention, treatment... Nothing would have changed without you. Thank you for saving me so many times! I am very grateful!

- Maya, I won't bore Zakaria with questions. How did his treatment go?

Maia: We were supposed to do exercises, take sulfur baths, electrostimulation, and yoga during rehabilitation. That is a great gift that the readers of the Fund gave us. The treatment course lasted for two months. The results are so good! I can see him every day and I can notice even the smallest changes. He has progressed a lot, but of course the treatment is not over yet. We must keep going...

 Apart from that, we received medication from the Fund. Zakro needs it for proper blood circulation. Especially in spring... You helped us with food when we were starving and during the pandemic. You have proved a hundred times that we can rely on you in every way. Right now, we got a microwave oven and a mixer from the Fund, and you have no idea how much they helped me! 

- Oh, tell me more!

Maia: I sell tea and coffee at the marketplace near the Station Square. Now it's a time when sales are not going well. I want to offer something new to customers so that I do not return home empty-handed. I want to add cupcakes to my coffee and tea. I get to the market by 1pm (after I finish everything with Zakro), and by that time people have already had lunch, but a light snack will work. I'll bake them at home The mixer and microwave will help me. And my son and I will have baked goods as well.

 - You're doing a great job of keeping your head up!

Maia: Even those who keep heads up need help. My son needed rehabilitation for so long, and I couldn't pay for it. One person can't do everything in the world. I only brought food. In winter we used to freeze because we didn't have a stove. But this winter was different. Both Zakro and I have never caught a cold or fallen ill, and we have spent all the winter months warm thanks to the gas heater. God bless you all!

 When I know my son is better, my mood is different. I want to style my hair and go to work like this. And my eye expression has completely changed. Although my job hasn't changed, and selling at the marketplace isn't easy, don't worry about me. I am okay. Thank you for my son. You gave him back his confidence. For his smile, which I see more often now, and for every step he takes, I want to kiss you all and press you to my heart.

You have encouraged him so much that he has begun to dream of studying, of entering University. He says he's interested in architecture. He's getting ahead of himself, he's driving me crazy (laughs). One thing is certain - after the rehabilitation course he is thinking more clearly, although there are still problems with his memory.

- Did the local authorities offer you any help during the project?

Maia: None of that. If they had asked, I would have told them how many things we needed.

- Better tell us, what else can we do to help you?

Maia: I was so inspired by your help, and I really saw what the treatment could do, that I dream of seeing it through. Every day I imagine that my Zakro will be able to take care of himself, that there will be less suffering in his life. There is another course of treatments at the balneological center (injections, etc.), that the doctor recommended to us. But it all comes down to funds.

I am concerned about the fact that my son has no communication. We live in a place where even the neighbors' houses are not close to us. I go to work, and my son is alone all day long. He doesn't even have a phone to call anyone. The only time my son can get online is when I get home from work - he uses my old phone, which always runs out of battery. It saddens me that he hasn't gotten rid of the isolation yet...

 ***

Zakaria is still very young, he's only 32 years old! I so wish he had more joy in his life. Of course, for him the greatest happiness, the greatest wish is to walk by himself. With your help, friends, this day can come sooner.
