🎁 On this Children's Day, offer the most valuable gift: Therapy Sessions 💛

🎈 This Children's Day, help children with cerebral palsy and rare diseases access essential therapies. The amount raised will be split equally. Join us and give a life-changing gift. 🎁

🎈 Children's Day is synonymous with smiles, games, parties and gifts. But for many children with cerebral palsy ♿ or rare diseases 🧬, this day is experienced differently, marked by limitations that make it difficult to participate in typical childhood activities.

🚫 Physical, cognitive or sensory barriers make certain moments inaccessible or require adaptations that are not always possible. But there is something that can really change lives: access to specialized therapies.

Physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy are not just treatments—they are tools for development, autonomy, and well-being. They enable a child to say their first word, take their first step, or feed themselves.

✨ This year, we propose to celebrate differently. Instead of toys, let's together offer something lasting: therapy sessions that so many families cannot endure alone.

🙌 With your help, we can ensure that every child receives the attention they deserve. The amount raised will be divided equally, promoting real progress for all of them.

About the author

We are a trio of friends who personally know the story of each of these children and follow their treatment at the ReInventar Clinic in Valbom (Gondomar). This year, with your help, we would like to help alleviate the financial burden of these families as a Children's Day gift by donating a small amount for the therapy sessions that make such a difference to them. The amount raised will be delivered directly to the clinic and distributed equally among the children who chose to participate in this campaign. If you would like to support a specific child, you can contact the clinic through social media (@centro_reinventar), by email geral@reinventar.pt or by calling 911008619.

Budget and due dates

The amount raised will be divided equally between each participating child to pay for therapy sessions to be carried out at the ReInventar clinic. The target amount is around €500 for each child (after deducting platform commissions), and for most children this does not even cover a month of therapy.
