Sófi was born prematurely at 27 weeks, weighing 990 grams. She was not breathing spontaneously at birth and suffered a stroke shortly after. Due to her respiratory failure, she was on mechanical ventilation for a long time. As a result of the stroke, the cerebrospinal fluid could not drain properly, so a shunt was implanted.

Sofi is now 9 years old. She has muscle tightness and limb shortening on the right side of her body (hemiplegia, spasticity). Her eyes were also affected by the injury, which means that her two eyes do not work well together.
He has difficulty using his hands because he is originally right-handed, but due to the illness he had to get used to using his left hand.
His attention span is short, and even math is difficult for him.

Therapies and improvements have helped little Szofi a lot, but they need more opportunities for further development. Szofi and her brother are being raised by their mother alone in difficult circumstances.
Their dream is for Szofi to go to Dolphin Therapy one day, which would also be a great experience for her.

Let's help Sófi and her family get the chance to get one step closer to achieving their dream!
