Soldier Anatolii, VNUCHOK: I believe I will be able to walk again, and I am making every effort to get back on my feet.

On 26th February 2022, I voluntarily went to the military enlistment office and was mobilised into the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On 9th June 2023, in the Luhansk region, on the outskirts of the village of Dibrova, during a combat mission, we came under mortar fire. . I remember how everything turned upside down in my head. My fellow soldier Mykola rescued me and administered first aid, for which I am immensely grateful.
Later, it turned out that I sustained a severe concussion, and in addition, a shell fragment from a mine hit the plate of my body armour and damaged my spine. Then surgeries in Dnipro and treatment in Kyiv followed.

The Citizen Charitable Foundation paid for and handed me an active wheelchair. It helps me in everyday life and rehabilitation.

The process of recovery is ongoing, I continue to work out, and I am already seeing some progress. 

Now the rehabilitation period provided by the state is about to expire. However, I do not want to stop, I feel that I can achieve even greater results, consolidate my achievements and improve my health. To do this, I need another month of rehabilitation, during which I will undergo health procedures under the supervision of specialists and work out actively in the gym.

A month of rehabilitation at the Western Rehabilitation and Sports Centre of the National Committee for Sports for the Disabled of Ukraine costs UAH 90,000. This amount can be paid at the expense of charitable funds, so I am asking for help from the Citizen Charitable

COLLECTED AND TRANSFERRED: UAH 90,000 for rehabilitation
