The power of the spirit, or how to live in good shape
Recently I met a unique person! I will never forget this meeting!
What is the matter, you ask? Let me tell you everything in order and try not to miss anything ...
In 1994, a resident of the city Ostashkov Elena Kushcheva received a serious spinal injury, falling from a high stairs. The doctors' verdict was deplorable: 30% for what would live, but walk - never!
Here it would be possible to put an end if not to take into account the character and stamina of our heroine.
She, a former athlete with iron will, began a painstaking training, contrary to the opinion of doctors who said the same thing -"you can’t only become worse from everything." Hospital beds, immobilized and someone else's body ... to regain at least part of the health!
She saw how healthy men after a similar trauma, lost their self -control, endurance and their own face.
A long way to lift from the bed began, she won a menti-menti with a chance to move and not burden her mother with leaving, the war with the bed, which seemed to chain with chains and was not going to let out from hospital embrace.
Secretly from the doctors, the compassionate nurses in the hospital drove Elena to the hall to theDikul simulator , on which she slowly began to study ..
Then there was a difficult operation on the spine in the neurosurgical department of the Tver Hospital ... After returning home to Ostashkov, Elena set about daily gymnastics with her friend Svetlana Fomicheva.
They had to again open textbooks: anatomy, traumatology and neurology. Together they used a huge number of techniques: qigong, Shi Tsu, Tibetan medicine and gymnastics in the wild. Trending in pain and gritting her teeth, Elena continued everyday training for 4-6 hours.
Only two years later, a faithful friend will tell Elena that she no longer hoped for improvement.
And then that long -awaited day came - the body began to obey a little, after a couple of months Elena Kushcheva was able to sit down and take a pen in her hand. Then there was formation on his feet, I had to learn to walk again.
First, near the table, then it was necessary to reach the window, leaning the space of the room a little.
The restoration took a long 10 years of life.
Tireless Energy and internal power searched for exit and in 2002 Elena Fedorovna Kushcheva organized the Tonus club for people with disabilities
The city allocated the premises for free, and the work boiled. Usually , Disabled people do not know about their rights and are sitting home, but with the advent of such a club the situation has changed for the better. People united for creativity and rehabilitation. Large families and creatively tuned youth reached the club.
Now in the club "Tonus" in the list of 85 children, there are stroller and patients with cerebral palsy, there are bedridges with a similar trauma of the spine, there are children from poor and large families. Everyone found classes in the club.
Children sing, dance and work on crafts, write paintings, embroider and knit, arrange holidays and are printed in a poetic almanac.
Invalids-carriers created an amazing beauty of a carved Kremlin made of wood.
Members of the Club "Tonus" are active participants in the international competitions " Philanthropist" and the poetic " Kablukovskaya Rainbow ".
A charter has been developed for the club, which proclaims an active lifestyle to all members - From 15 to 88 years. "Tonus" deciphens as "you must tirelessly improve yourself."
Elena Fedorovna herself knocks on all doors to officials, requires the installation of ramps and the allocation of funds for the purchase of simulators for the rehabilitation of the disabled. She once wrote to Mikhail Prokhorov, asked him 50 thousand rubles for the purchase of columns for concerts. To which the billionaire replied: "Here I will become the president, then I will give you money." But, fortunately, there are deputies who help ...
Elena also writes fairy tales for children, kind, sincere, and they are always a good ending in them. And this time, when Elena Fedorovna told the children and her parents that volunteers from Moscow would come and bring computers as a gift, everyone decided that Elena is a fairy tale and this simply cannot be in reality.
But we kept a promise and brought to children 15 computers as a gift, a microphone for performances, Stephen Hawking’s books, many coloring and felt -tip pens, games with games, sweets and fruits. The children were just happy! They were very shy to express their joy and, only on the street, when they went home with their parents, They gave free rein to their emotions and delight - the happiness of possessing the cherished computer was unimaginably!
What struck me the most?
Elena Fedorovna did not ask for anything for herself, everything for children, everything is in the club!
The energy of it and the club employees is just hit by a key and, thanks to this, she gathered a great team and just sincere people around her .
She does not feel pity for herself, does not sit still, she has far -reaching plans and she - Human actions.
Now there is work to prepare for the concert for the New Year and you need to find:
1. Costumes of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden.
2. Buy new speakers for performances.
3. Find sponsors for Repair of the premises and purchases of simulators.
After all, Elena Fedorovna has accumulated huge personal experience in rehabilitation of disabled people.
You need to move on and not stand still!
