About Soybean

Nataliya’s grandson Yaroslav “Soybean” Is nearly a year old.  Tragically, he has had a difficult year and has been diagnosed with Lissencephaly, a brain malformation that causes a smooth brain.   

If that wasn’t enough, he is also battling Infantile Spasms, which is a rare epilepsy disorder that is difficult to manage and diagnose. If not properly controlled, Infantile Spasms can cause significant physical and mental regression.

Nataliya’s Daughter Valeriya knows her cause may not have a happy ending…But she is brave and determined (as any good mother is) to do everything possible to help Soybean!  Costs for therapy are high, and it will be  difficult for her family to manage without help.

The first step in our fundraising effort is to help raise money to help Valeriya enrol Soybean in the MEDEK System, which will hopefully enhance his core strength, limb control, and possibly gain some lost abilities.

Nataliya is a proud mother and grandmother, asking for help is not natural for her.  So as her friend, and her
colleague we are going to offer donation classes on her behalf.  As you can imagine this past year has been very difficult for the family, and our hearts go out to them all.

Working together we will be offering Donation based classes in an effort to raise money for Little Soybean.
It would be very special if we can work together and show Nataliya that she has our support.
