Work with a rehabilitator.
Usual movements must be learned anew — now with the help of a prosthesis. This requires good physical training. Progress is recorded by a special application. It counts the number and length of steps, the strength of the load on the leg, and other indicators.

Without your active participation, organizing Sashko's trip to Washington would be impossible. Our partners Medical Center of Orthopedics and Prosthetics (MCOP) agreed to provide the prosthesis. As a foundation, with the help of donors, we take care of other essential things: flight for the team, escorting Olexander, his wife, and accompanying staff, Olexander's comfortable stay abroad, and providing for all his needs, as well as legal support for the entire process. This is the colossal daily work of a large team of people.

Everyone can become an angel of goodness for Ukrainians who suffered from the war. On our website, we have opened a collection for the next three patients who need prosthetics abroad. Only with your help, can we give our heroes a chance for a fulfilling life.
