So that Misha can finally relax

Míša is 8 years old. She is a smart, perceptive little girl who would love to run, jump and frolic like other children. But her journey has been much harder from the start.

Míša has cerebral palsy and an ultra-rare genetic disease. She moves around in a wheelchair and her body struggles with stiffness, tension and limited movement every day.

Things that are obvious to other children – taking a few steps, sitting down without pain, stretching her legs, relaxing her muscles – are a huge task for Míša.

And that is exactly why this collection was created on Znesnáze21.

We are not asking for a “vacation”. We are asking for a chance for Míša to complete two things that really help her – a week-long hippotherapy camp and a recuperative stay by the sea.

Hippotherapy – horses that can help

In the summer, Míša has the opportunity to go to a week-long hippotherapy camp. For some, it may sound like a nice program for children, but for Míša it is much more.

Hippotherapy is a professional rehabilitation that can naturally move the muscles and nervous system. For Míša, it makes the most sense mainly because it helps to relax stiff muscles, improve trunk stability, strengthen deep muscles and improve coordination and balance. Thanks to this, she then sits better in her wheelchair, exercises and rehabilitates better, and cramps and pain are often reduced.

And in addition to the physical benefits, hippotherapy is also of enormous psychological importance for Míša - contact with horses gives her joy, motivation and the feeling that she can do more than she sometimes seems.

The sea - a relief that cannot be replaced at home

The second part is a healing stay by the sea. The sea is literally a relief for Míša.

The heat, water and the marine environment help her mainly with what is most difficult for her:

relaxing her muscles, legs and whole body.

When Míša's muscles relax, it's not just a "better feeling". It means less stiffness, fewer cramps, better mobility, better regeneration and often better sleep. Míša is then calmer, more at ease in her own body and normal functioning is a little easier for her and for us as a family.

What exactly will the money be used for

The money collected will be used exclusively for:

a week-long hippotherapy camp (horses)

a recuperative stay at the seaside

and the necessary costs associated with it (transport, accommodation, fees and care)

We ask for your help

Living with a disability is a long journey. And even if we try to do our best, rehabilitation, therapy and everything else required are very financially demanding.

That's why we ask for your help. Every contribution — even a small one — means a great chance for Míša to find relief, relaxation and a better life.

If you can't donate, sharing the collection will also help us.

Thank you for not leaving Míša alone.

Thank you for helping her have a summer that will be truly meaningful.
