Masha was born a healthy child, but after four months, her parents noticed that their daughter was falling behind in physical development. They turned to doctors, but the neurologist did not find anything significant and recommended massages. After a few massage sessions, Masha stopped crawling. After genetic testing, the diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) Type 1 was confirmed. The parents are doing everything possible to save their daughter. However, the treatment cannot be done in Russia. Now, the girl needs to visit a specialist at the Charité Clinic in Berlin, Germany. The cost is 2,700 euros.
