As time goes by, we bid farewell to 2024 gently and embrace the dawn of the new year, with dreams shining ahead and warm memories behind. We wonder how the cerebral palsy child we sponsored has recovered in the past year and what he has gained.
In 2024, the little boy we sponsored, Guo Haozhe, underwent more rehabilitation training. After 11 months of unremitting efforts, his hamstring muscle tone was adjusted to Grade II and his iliacus-psoas muscle tone was also adjusted to Grade II; his standing and walking postures improved, though he still suffered from insufficient muscle strength in his lower limbs, leading to an unstable gait while standing and walking. In terms of learning, he could concentrate for a longer time, maintain focus during class, and made progress in reading comprehension, able to read an entire article fluently. In terms of daily life, he could feed himself and dress and undress independently. He could also complete household chores such as sweeping the floor and wiping tables.
Zhuangzhuang, who has just turned 14, not only trained himself hard but also kept encouraging younger children, helping them actively participate in their rehabilitation. He hopes more younger children can learn to walk like him. He also vows to train harder to walk more steadily and go further. Zhuangzhuang said he would definitely work hard on his rehabilitation to become a useful person to society!
During the summer vacation of 2024, Zhuangzhuang returned to his hometown and noticed that the roads were still dirt paths, the house remained a brick building, and the bed was still hard. He emotionally expressed that without everyone's help, he wouldn't have been able to come to the Chenguang Rehabilitation Center to learn to walk, nor would he have had the opportunity to study music and art. He couldn't imagine what he might have become without this support. He is grateful for everyone's assistance that has given him a new lease on life! In 2025, we initiated a donation campaign to continue raising funds for Zhuangzhuang's rehabilitation training and living expenses for the year. A total of 91 caring colleagues from our firm donated to support him. The funds raised will be used to cover his rehabilitation, nursing, accommodation, and other expenses for this year.
You are not only participants but also promoters. At this warm and hopeful moment, we express our heartfelt gratitude once again to all our caring colleagues!
The Phoenix Public Welfare Program needs everyone's attention and support! We look forward to joining hands with you to build a bridge of love between people. We are here waiting for you! At this new starting point, let's joyfully embrace the next splendid journey together.
