Greetings to you all!
Dear friends, I thank you heartily for your support!
In May, with joint efforts we managed to pay:
ortheses for Denis Krasnikov, 14 years old, cerebral palsy, tetraparesis and treatment in Asklepios Clinic in St. Augustine for Savva Linenkov, 5 years old, from Ukraine, еsophageal atresia.

Here is the list of our “urgent” care-receivers in June and July:

Arseny Miroshnikov, 6 years old, Nizhny Novgorod, epilepsy, cerebral palsy. The child has already undergone 6 surgeries. There is another one planned: for the hip endoprosthesis. This one is extremely important for Arseny to be able to walk and consolidate the results of all rehabilitations. Arseny and his mother need a housing for July-August in St. Augustine or financial assistance to rent one.

Kolya Matanov, 6 years old, Dusseldorf, autoimmune encephalitis. Two years ago, Kolya underwent a bone marrow transplantation to cure a genetic efect of the immune system. The happiness of parents lasted 8 months: finally, the child seemed healthy. Yet then he got sick. The cheerful, active child has lost completely almost all functions: he stopped walking, sitting … Only now little by little Kolya begins to swallow… Parents are trying to restore all what is possible. They need special training equipment. However, their insurance does not cover the equipment, and a big family, where the father is also seriously ill for three years, is not to purchase them i. They require; a Galileo vibrating device, €. 3.900, Kreta fixators, € 500. We will be grateful for your help.

Rodion Nyhotin, 4 years old, Lugansk region, Ukraine, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, spastic tetraparesis. The kid can not crawl nor walk, he can not trace the toys. Owing to non-stop rehabilitation, Rodion has learned to sit and stand with support, to pronounce sounds, to perceive consciously the speech addressed to him. As a result of rehabilitation, he made great progress: he got skills, the reflexes were activated, and severe epileptic seizures went away. It is necessary to keep and develop the skills and abilities that have already been acquired, and to open new opportunities in the development of the child. We raise the funds for the next rehabilitation course in Teplitse, Czechia: € 2357

Maria Laputina, 1.8 years old, Sumy region, Ukraine, hydrocephalus (the child is shunted), cerebral palsy, epilepsy, West syndrome. You already helped Maria so you know her story: the girl was born before the full term, yet was healthy, was placed in intensive care unit, in which there was an accident, so that in a week after the birth the child has suffered the bleeding, got meningitis and hydrocephalus, and later, as a result of an incorrectly chosen rehabilitation , also epilepsy. Maria is being treated in Germany, and was recently hospitalized in Potsdam clinics with urgency: she cannot breathe on her own. The clinics billed for the additional equipment required in her condition, a suction pump and an inhaler, the cost is € 2300.

Let me remind you that on July 6-8 the Orthodox Volunteer Day will be held in Darmstadt.
If you have a burning desire to come and listen to the talks on volunteer happiness and rules to avoid burnput, train to communicate with seriously ill children and their parents, learn first-hand from the experience of German church charity organizations, make pilgrimage to the places associated with Grand Duchess Elizaveta Fedorovna, a princess Hesse-Darmstadt, and also to communicate and make friends with amazing and cordial people – we will be happy to meet you! The program is here: https://www.orthodiakonia.de/en/dv2018/

Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
HURRY TO DO GOOD!
With much love,
Yours Alina
