Dear friends, welcome to the new year!
In December, we have helped:
Danya Barannikov, 5 years, brain tumour, treatment in Israel
Nastya Paramonova, 5 years, CNS damage, tetraparesis, treatment in Poland

In January the following children need our help:

Elisaveta Ekimova from Tomsk, ICP, 8 y.o., is on her way to another rehabilitation course to the German town of Ratingen. Her parents have paid for the treatment of their daughter by themselves over the years, but now are in need of help. 4500 euros are needed.

Ilya Soldatov, from Moscow region, 3 y.o., metabolistic disorder, has been invited to the university clinic of Heidelberg. The child has a rare illness, barely treatable. The family has already lost their older son. Now they are fighting for their young one. Ilya’s condition can be eased by a ketogenic diet, which the clinic offers. The bill is 10 000 euros. The family is already financially depleted. The parents paid for the actual treatment already, but they are asking for help with the transportation and other costs. Around 2 thousand euros are needed. I also ask volunteers to contact me: we need people to support them in Heidelberg, foremost with translations. Please write to answer@orthodiakonia.de

Anton Homenko from Odessa, 13 years, uteretal anomaly, endocrine disorders needs a kidney transplant at the German clinic Charité. From the age of 7 months Anton has lived with stomas in his ureters. At the moment he has a chronic 5th stage kidney malfunction. The functions of the kidneys is limited to 10 percent. The child has strong intoxication of the organism, constant sickness, weakness, rapid tiredness. Due to the faulty phosphorus-calcium exchange, Anton’s legs have deformed into an x shape. The biological age of the child is 13 years, but he looks like 10 (144cm high, 32kg). To reach even this height was only possible due to the daily injection of a growth hormone. In 2015 the doctors suggested to remove both his kidneys due to the nephrocalcinosis. At the Charité clinic they wait for Anton for a kidney transplant. The cost of the operation is 149 thousand euros.

HURRY TO DO GOOD!
With much love,
Your Alina
