This is Igor! Isn't he precious?!
He has been on Reece's Rainbow far, far, far, far too long.
He is SEVEN YEARS old, he was born November 26th, 2004
He has arthrogryposis. The description says only affecting his legs but I see contractures in his wrists and elbows but they look mild!
Can you imagine being SEVEN years old and NEVER, EVER having the love of a mother or father or siblings?
He was likely given up simply because his limbs are different and in his country of birth this the norm
His story just becomes sadder though.....he was transferred.....to an adult mental institution....a place where he will become BEDRIDDEN for life because he can't walk because he hasn't been given access to treatment.
Transferred to an adult mental institution means this harsh reality
He is an Eastern European Country
Despite being in an orphanage he is described as loving and affectionate!!
It is URGENT that he finds a family!!
The longer he is an the institution the more likely it is that he will change for the worse like Ksenia has
Even if you cannot be his family consider making a donation to his Reeces Rainbow Account!
The more money in his account the more likely it is that a family will commit to him and the less money they will have to come up with for his ransom.
An adoption from EE on average costs $20,000
He only has $95.00 in his account
If you would like to donate to his account please go here to donate!
If you think he could be your son but wonder what life after he is home will be like?!
Evan, Madeline, Aaron, Gerri, Cameron and Victoria all have arthrogryposis too and all were adopted from Reece's Rainbow and they have ALL blossomed and THRIVED in their new families!!
Evan who is affected A LOT like Igor is now WALKING unassisted!!
Read whats its like to adopt a child with arthrogryposis, especially if you're unfamiliar with the diagnosis
