Dear friends!
A happy spring time to us all! The time when the air is full of life, anything seems possible and everything should be light and joyous!
Our successes over February:
With your help it was possible to partially finance the operation on exchanging the implants for Stepan Tischkow aus Charkiw (Ukraine), 8 Jahre alt, Diagnose: CLOVES-Syndrom, teilweise bezahlt.

In March we would be glad to help:

Angelina Tkachenko, 2.3 years, from Odessa, retinoblastoma. From the very first months of her life, the child and her parents are fighting against the cancer of the eye retina. Contact with the doctors in Odessa didn’t yield any results. The child was transported to Berlin, where she received a diagnostic and where the treatment started. However, even that proved to be ineffective and the professor directed Angelina to the university clinic of Essen for a proton therapy, the last chance for the child to survive and recover. The cost of the therapy is 84 000 euros.

Dmitri Meshkov, from Orenburg, 18 y.o, epidermolysis bullosa He can’t jump, can’t run, as his skin is very easily damaged and even from a soft touch it “slides”, the body forms bubbles as if it was burned. The healing process takes a while, sometimes a couple of months, and forms scarring tissue, which has a negative effect on the already thinned out skin. Sometimes there is a problem with swallowing food, and sometimes the food doesn’t go down at all because the digestive tract is narrowed and the swallowing process causes an excruciating pain. The fingers on his hands have deformed and grown together because of the constant wounds and because there is essentially no skin left. In the family, where apart from Dima there is also a younger sibling, only the father works, as the mother is caring for him. Every day, sometimes twice a day, his mum will bandage his whole body: all his bandages are soaked off, the wounds get disinfected and then new balm, cream and bandages are applied, which helps the wounds to heal. The lad lives in his cocoon of bandages, but he has a plan and hope.

From Dima’s letter:
«I really need my hands. At the moment I am finishing my last year at school. I hope to successfully complete the national state exam and get a place in a university, studying to become a programmer. In our country, children like me are helped by the foundation “Deti BELA”. Unfortunately, I am no longer a child and can’t rely on the help from them. And I have a while to live still.
Despite my diagnosis, I want to remain a man until the end. I don’t want to be a hindrance to my mum and my relatives. I need and I will work, I need to get an income for our family. For that I need my hands and my brain.
In the university clinic of Freiburg they have already done an operation on the fingers of my right hand and treated my teeth and I was very happy with the result. I have asked for the bill for an operation to separate the fingers on my hands, because I dream of acquiring and master this profession..»

The clinic is ready to receive Dima.
The bill for the operation is 31286 euros.

HURRY TO DO GOOD!
Warm hugs,
Alina Titova
