Our care-receivers in June:

Alexander Rozdolsky, 11 years old, Lviv region, hyperoxaluria, renal failure. Little Sasha has a sister Lisa. We helped her in the past year and as well in the year before last with the kidney and liver transplant surgery, and then purchased the expensive medications requred for new organs to live in her body. Sasha had the same illness as his sister … Sasha’s kidney had hardly worked, so he got a surgery in Minsk. Now, he requires a surgery on the second kidney, as well as a liver transplant, so not to lose these organs… The mother’s salary only suffices for food and necessary medicines. The mother raises her beloved children alone. For the previous and upcoming surgeries, the hospital bills for EUR 4,600.

Ilya Soldatov, 3 years old, Moscow, epileptic encephalopathy. From the letter of his mother: “Our son has diagnosed with a very rare disease and is observed in the clinic at Heidelberg University. We have repeatedly appealed to your organization for help and have received the tremendous help and support while in Germany: that with the translations, and financial one, and with picking us up at the airport. Thank you once again! However, at the moment we have to go to this clinic again. We got the bill. But we don’t have money to pay for it. ” This family has already passed a difficult path. The parents have already lost their eldest son. Now they are fighting for the younger Ilyusha. A huge number of surveys, and two trips to Germany are behind. There, they were finally able to establish a diagnosis. An extremely rare metabolic disorder was found. It is uncurable, but it is possible to greatly alleviate the child condition, and give him an opportunity to live in joy and happiness. No time to wait. They require EUR 11,440.
