Greetings to all! My name is Victoria Artikova I live in Sydney.
I want to help my friends from Russia who live in the Siberian small town of Ulan-Ude, strong people who, despite their disabilities (wheelchair users), have been doing a lot of social work for 20 years now. This is the foundation of disabled people in wheelchairs “Society without Barriers”.
They help people to continue their life path in a worthy manner despite their inborn or acquired disability, and society to understand the problems of people with disabilities. They hold various activities for the integration of people with disabilities into society, help children with disabilities, work with authorities, fight for their rights, for an accessible infrastructure in terms of a barrier-free environment. I ask you to help you purchase 3 wheelchairs with an electric verticalizer for their public fund. This stroller allows you to not experience discomfort when communicating, as well as self-service, as at any time you can get up to full height with the help of a special device for verticalization built into the wheelchair. The whole life of the wheelchair is spent sitting or lying, which is bad for blood circulation, many organs suffer from it. This stroller will help them not only in everyday life and in improving their health, but also in their great mission.
There are only 4 of them, three of them move in wheelchairs.
Everyone has their own personal history, how he became disabled, and the general history of the foundation. I will introduce you to everyone. Immediately make a reservation that this year the foundation turns 20 years old, and people about whom it will be discussed are at its source. Ergen Budayev, a unique woman, who unfortunately is not with us, became its founder. As a student at the Faculty of History at the Pedagogical Institute, she cut her leg on the beach and the infection hit the wound, then the infection reached the spine and was paralyzed. They performed an operation to save the life of a young girl, but the sentence was inexorable. Then her life will be held in a wheelchair. Ergena did not give up, and after discharge she continued her studies at the institute. Her classmates, in the literal sense of the word, carried her in their arms, since the government in the 1980s, unfortunately, was such that people with disabilities were “erased out” from life once and for all. Cities, houses, roads — everything was built for healthy people only. infrastructure accessibility for people with disabilities could only be dreamed of. No ramps, lifts, wheelchairs are big, heavy and uncomfortable. Sometimes they do not go through the doorways, it’s not even possible to get to the balcony or to the bathroom just at home. Therefore, people who received a spinal injury were basically doomed to confine themselves to their apartment. Many for years did not leave the house on the street. Ergena decided that after graduating from the institute, she would fight for her rights to be in society on equal terms. Her path was long, but she was able to unite around her the same like-minded people, help them develop leadership skills, and make for the society a lot of useful and socially significant projects in education, culture, health protection, protection of citizens' rights, development of civil society.
To date, her ideas continue to other activists of the fund.
Galina Gorbatykh - has a higher education. Four months after the wedding, I got into a car accident with my young husband (because of his fault, he dabbled at the wheel and lost control). Of the four passengers in the car, only Galya was seriously injured. Spinal fracture and consequence of a wheelchair for the rest of your life. Husband a year left from Gali. But she found the strength in herself, overcame everything and is now engaged in active public work. He is the chairman of the fund as well as a member of the public chamber in the Republic of Buryatia.
Nikolai Krasikov - served in the police as a driver, was engaged in sambo, he has an excellent family of two children. On the next task, the car had an accident and Nikolay broke his spine. In the fund, he is a leading specialist in creating a barrier-free environment for a regional public foundation for disabled people in wheelchairs “a society without barriers”.
Oksana Gridasova - spinal injury, walks with difficulty. She has been working as an accountant in the foundation for 15 years, but in addition to her work, she actively helps with the foundation's public work. She has a family, two children. In 2006, she adopted the daughter of her friend, who died of cancer.
Damage to the spine and spinal cord are classified as severe injuries of the human body.
These injuries are characterized by persistent loss of efficiency, disruption of all systems and organs. According to the social program, strollers - verticalizers are not included in the free provision program, it is simply not possible to buy expensive equipment on their own for people receiving a small pension. Verticalizers as a means of rehabilitation and life improvement for people with disabilities are very useful. Spinal beds spend their lives in a sitting and lying position. From here blood circulation is disturbed and often leads to bedsores, which they heal for months. In addition, they are very dangerous for them. Running form can be fatal.
I ask everyone who can provide all possible assistance in the purchase of this equipment - SPREAD THE KINDNESS TO PEOPLE IN NEED! If 15,000 people give one dollar from their own pocket, then our world will be better. Because charity is the great right of wealthy citizens! Thank you very much to all who responded to my call!
