Karolina Stefanowicz
Karolinka - one of the few in the world.
Her story is unique not because it is easy, but because it is so rarely seen. The mutation in the RALA gene occurs in only a dozen people in the world. This means not only daily challenges, but also not enough ready-made answers. Karolinka functions in the rhythm of therapy, exercises and specialized support. Moves on an active stroller, communicates in simple words and reacts to proximity. Every day is a consistent work on comfort and the best possible functioning. Her smile is not an ornament of description. It's part of her character. What does she face on a daily basis? Karolina has a very rare gene mutation in the RALA gene, cerebral palsy with quadriplegic spasticity, profound intellectual disability, and epilepsy and other neurological conditions. She doesn't walk and moves in an active stroller. She speaks only single, simple words. She requires constant care, intensive rehabilitation and specialized therapies to support its development and comfort of life.
