Hi, my name is Arvydas and am raising funds on behalf of a little brave girl Patricija who's dreams is to walk one day ❤️

Patricija is our little miracle. A true fighter who came into this world with a bang and has already overcome more than most people face in a lifetime.

Due to a very difficult birth, Patricija was diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Today, she cannot walk on her own — but her biggest dream is simple and powerful:

She wants to walk.

With constant physiotherapy, swimming sessions, kinesitherapy, and specialised rehabilitation, we know this goal is possible. We have already seen progress. We have already seen hope. But this journey requires continuous, long-term treatment and significant financial resources that we can no longer manage alone.

That is why we are asking for your help.

Every donation will go directly towards:

Regular physiotherapy and rehabilitation

Specialised equipment

Hydrotherapy and swimming therapy

Travel to treatment centres

Ongoing medical support that Patricija needs to have a chance to walk independently

Patricija is a happy, strong, and determined child. She never gives up. And we, as her family, will never give up either.

But we cannot do this alone anymore.

Your support can turn her dream into reality.

You are not just donating. You are helping a little girl take her first steps.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of Patricija’s journey.

About Patricija

Age: She will turn 4 on April 17.

Diagnosis: Main diagnoses are G80.01 (spastic diplegic cerebral palsy) and F83 (mixed developmental disorder).

Mobility and Motor Skills: Patricija does not walk independently yet, and mobility is still challenging. She walks only with the help of a walker and can stand on her own for about 1-2 minutes. She crawls, can stand up by holding onto furniture, and can sit up from a lying position. She has developed concrete thinking, but tasks requiring abstract thinking are harder. She struggles with visual tasks, puzzles, drawing lines, cutting, and purposeful movements.

Achievements: She knows letters, is starting to learn numbers, recognizes colors perfectly, and is learning to distinguish big from small objects. She follows instructions like "put," "connect," "take out," etc.

Speech Development: Speech is delayed—she repeats words often and has difficulty expressing needs. She can drink simply on her own, points to things she sees with her finger, knows her name, can say her age, knows songs, and greets people with "hello" and "goodbye" . However, her speech is far from that of a healthy 4-year-old.

Equipment: She has a walker, a standing support frame, and various balance boards and pillows. Orthotics (braces) are needed and replaced approximately every year.

Ongoing Needs and Therapies

Patricija requires regular therapies to improve her mobility, speech, and overall development. These are done privately in addition to home exercises.

Physiotherapy: 2-3 times per week privately, plus lots of time at home (stretching exercises, electrostimulation, foot work on different surfaces).

Occupational Therapy: 1-2 times per week, focusing on hand skills and thinking.

Swimming Pool: 1-2 times per month.

Speech Therapy: Ideally more frequent, but currently 1 time per week due to difficulty finding a good specialist.

Locations: Therapies are in Kaunas, Lithuania, or rehabilitation in Poland.

Personal Message from Mom (Gustė)

"Like all children, Patricija dreams of living fully and freely in her body. To enjoy childhood, dance, and run with her peers. Cerebral palsy means that movement, sports, and efforts will be her daily life forever.

And I, as her mom, dream that she learns not to fight with herself, but to live with herself—bravely, openly, with pride, and the great positivity she already has. Independence in tasks and in movement ❤️."

Thanks to all for support
