Jevgenija Naumova Triantafillu

Victoria will be 5 years old in June 2013. She has neuromuscular disorder which doctors at Great Ormond Street cannot diagnose yet. At the moment it is a mystery to the health professionals but they also said that it is untreatable life-long disorder. It affects her swallowing-liquids get into lungs instead of her tummy=risk of aspiration, her speech- at this age she can make only 4 sounds and needs special communication device to communicate with others, her walking and posture- she gets tired very quickly with a lower back pain, cannot keep up with her friends, falling over constantly due to loosing balance and so on. It also affects Victoria?s hips. She has DDH(developmental dysplasia of the hip) , the muscles do not support her joints properly and DDH got worse in the last 6 months. Victoria is on a waiting list for a surgery to correct the DDH, but it will not change her problem/difficulty walking and running.

Victoria is very happy, lively, gentle, always smiling little person. She has been a real warrior through her ordeals. She is very popular in her school and much supported by her peers.

But the difficulty she and we as a family face now is mobility. Victoria is very active, we love going outside to explore, travel in all terrains like hiking in the mountains. But being 5 years old she is outgrowing her regular buggies. At our last appointment the doctor proposed for occupational therapist to provide Vicky with a wheelchair. But it will be quite useless to us as it is very limited. I have checked out the buggies for special needs toddlers and for our life style was recommended Kangoo All Terrain Buggy which costs from ?1,939 - ?2,359 Exc. VAT. I have recently spoken with Victoria's OT and they also recommended Theraplay Terrier Trike which apparently costs almost ?800. With Terrier trike Victoria will be able to ride her bike with her sister and friends in a park along them all by herself instead of being pushed around by her mother. It will give her more freedom and independence!

That is where the plea to help to fund these equipment is coming. Me, Jevgenija, the mother of Victoria, asking for help. Please help me to raise enough money to give my precious Victoria more freedom, independence and enjoyment of outdoors with a help of special needs buggy and a trike. Very BIG thank you to all of you for taking your time to read and help. It will be very much appreciated by both Victoria and her family.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
