I would like to address you, the father of a disabled child, Timur Vasilyev from Kazan.
My son Timur was born prematurely and, by mistake of doctors, became disabled. He is a special child, he has cerebral palsy. At his age, children run, play with their peers. We don't have that. Our peers are not interested in us because of our stiffness - we even fear them a little, we are ashamed that we are not like them......
At birth, the child's lung did not open and he was under a ventilator. He couldn't breathe on his own, but against what little chance he had, he survived! On discharge we were told that the baby would be ‘lying like a vegetable on a bed’ and offered to give him up. How can a mum give up her own baby! Despite everything, we kept hoping! From that moment his whole little life turned into endless courses of examinations, rehabilitation, injections, pills..... And in 2008 to the diagnosis of cerebral palsy was added serious symptomatic multifocal epilepsy. The child was constantly suffering from seizures. And another blow: hip subluxation.
In 2014, under a 3-hour anaesthesia, Timur underwent a very complicated operation to correct the subluxation of the hip joint. Then the boy spent a month and a half in a cast from waist to fingertips. It was a very difficult period for him physically and emotionally, pain, insomnia, lack of appetite, but he endured it. Unfortunately, after the operation, his pelvis became skewed. And, again the operation, now in St. Petersburg at the Turner Institute. 

Now Timur is 17 years old. All 17 years are a fight for my son's happiness, for his normal full-fledged life.
In autumn Timur will go to study in the 10th grade in a school with disabled children in Kazan. 
Timur is growing up a kind, bright, attentive child. And, also, he loves virtual games about travelling. I would like to fulfil the child's virtual dreams. But, in the family, the sources of income are only one pension (the child's disability pension and my old age pension), there are no funds for travelling.
Alone raising two sons. The children's mother died in 2015, when Timur was 8 years old. There is an adult son in the family - a 5th year student at KFU. 
We have heard a lot about the fund ‘Rainbow in Cyprus’... How GREAT it would be if a child's dream to travel the world came true!

With respect,
Dad Andrei Vasiliev
