Cerebral Palsy in a War Zone.
Displaced due to the war, Misha arrived at the shelter in Lviv from Zaporizhzia with his mother in March. With only an old stroller for mobility, they struggle through daily tasks, but always with a smile. To see this family, in a war zone, fleeing, and still be able to smile and find joy was an incredible inspiration for all of us. Direct Effect was able to partner with an amazing organization, The Grace Children’s Foundation, to build Misha a customized wheelchair. Rachel Vaugh, our Co-Founder, was able to deliver the wheelchair herself.
The strength of people like Misha inspires us to continue our mission. If you know of someone in need, please reach out to us and we are happy to help as much as we can.
