Nikita was born at 26 weeks weighing just 850 grams. He spent a month in intensive care and then in the pathology department.
At 10 months, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Since then, he has been undergoing regular rehabilitation. Nikita’s intellect is fully preserved: he speaks, learns poems and songs, and knows the alphabet and numbers.
Due to a growth spurt, he developed spasticity that caused hip dislocations, necessitating surgery. Nikita is in severe pain, and the operation will help reduce spasticity and realign his joints. The operation at a clinic in Georgia costs €14,700.
