Point of the support

Hello friends!

For more than two months we have been collecting money for the repair of the Disabled Club "Tonus" , this is our main action, but now this is not about that.

Today, a story from the life of an ordinary guy who has become disabled overnight. The story is told by his mother.

"The phone call broke life. No! Not to fragments, but by two halves: to trouble and directly the trouble itself.

An alien voice in the tube: "Your son was an accident. He is in a hospital with severe injuries."

And after some time, the diagnosis as a sentence is a fracture of the spine of the cervical spine. The crazy, painful hospital days and nights that I spent at the bed of my son, almost without sleep, stretched. I forgot when I had the last time ate, and whether she ate at all. It was not important at that moment. There was the only goal - to save his son. Go out. Let anyone, if only alive. A week later, I insisted that we be transported to the regional hospital. There, doctors confirmed the diagnosis and added that until recently, a eighteen -year -old guy will never go with health. So the athlete, football player, student and suddenly - a wheelchair.

The operation was performed and after a few months the doctors announced the extract. I was confused and anxiously asked a neurosurgeon, but what's next? What to do, what to do? The factory advised me to find in our city Kushchev Elena , who, eight years ago, with a diagnosis of PSMT of the cervical department, was operated on here in the Tver Regional Hospital and is now led by the Tonus club . He reassured that they will help us and advise us what to do next.

Yes, I already heard something about it. It seems that a club created for people who fell into a difficult life situation. The concept of "disability" has not yet fully fit in the head. What is the “tone” when my child turned into a helpless disabled person.

For a month they could not adapt at home, plus depression, thoughts about suicide. Fortunately, the neuropathologist again reminded of the tone. She prompted the address where he was located, and gave the head of the leader. It was not at all difficult to do, because by that time the club was a rather famous public organization in Ostashkov.

When I got into the club for acquaintance, it immediately became clear why such a name. People who are there, both healthy and limited in their physical capabilities, did not ache, did not complain to each other, did not discuss each of their sores. They lived, more precisely live, and do not exist and do not drown in their problems. And everyone has a lot of problems. In the "tone" principle - there is a problem, we will help to solve it and help. So I, the mother of my son Michael, who came with her misfortune, found real help and support. Competent consultations on the rehabilitation of the son were offered by a massage therapist who taught me. They explained the rights of the disabled, with the help of the club it was possible to purchase simulators. Overcoming bureaucratic barriers, loneliness. And most importantly - Misha found new real friends. Old friends gradually left him. And all this "tone" is not only specifically for my son, but for many other small, young and not very young people. In the Ostashkovsky district, about 3 thousand disabled people, including about 100 people with disabilities. And even though they still know about the Tonus club, but most of them live on this island of hope, where they will never refuse support, they will not be ignored and concerned with whatever disaster, you are always ready to help. Thanks to the “tone”, Misha graduated from an in absentia electric-mechanical college, this year he will receive a bachelor's diploma. We will fight further, we will live, because we have found our own point of support. "
