Chist is risen! I wish you a cheerful Easter feast!

Dear friends, we made a great job in March.

We have paid a rehabilitiation course in Ratingen for Eldar Eldarov, 13 y.o., cerebral palsy, housing for the period of treatment for Ilya Soldatov, 2,5 y.o., Moscow region, metabolic disorders, scaphocephaly; a device Galileo vibro platte for the removal of sputum from the lungs for Sofia Mushkudiani from Georgia with a severe form of cerebral palsy, 5 y. o. We have helped Isabella Belova from Ufa, 7 y. o., retinoblastoma, with the purchase of tickets for a required examination at an Essen clinic. We have paid a debt to Charite clincs for the resuscitation and additional treatment on behalf of Nicolai Zverev, 8 months old, Moscow, congenital heart disease.

Thank you for your support and love!

In April, the following children are waiting for our help:

Kholkin Alexey, 11 y.o., cerebral palsy, epilepsy, lives in Golitsyno. Many of you know the story of Alyosha and remember how we have helped him last year. At a month’s age, after an unsuccessful inoculation against hepatitis, the child began to have convulsions and was diagnosed with symptomatic epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Parents do a lot to treat him. Therapies, treatment and rehabilitation courses are good, but they all are very expensive. After replanting the immune cells, Alexei is expected on April 28 for a rehabilitation course in the center “Olinek”, Budapest, strarting from April 28. The course costs about EUR 2000.

Nicolai Orlovsky, 1 y.o., Kharkov, epilepsy, Vest syndrome. As a consequence of birth trauma, the baby cannot not see, cannot hear, has a weak swallowing reflex. During his life, Nikolai has already defeated 7 pneumonia’s. The child’s life proceeds in intensive care units and hospitals. A child’s brain is very flexible: the sooner one begins to treat it, the more functions and reflexes it will be possible to restore. Ukrainian doctors can not help much to Nicolai with this. The child is invited for an examination in Spain at the Teknon clinic for a more accurate choice of anti-convulsion therapy (EUR 12.083 ), and also for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological problems, and the installation of gastrostomy in German clinic Shemberg (EUR 15.260), The clinic bills thus total to EUR 27,343.

Artem Agarkov, 5 y. o., Rostov region, diagnoses: intestinal obstruction, duodenum atresia, hydrocephalus, flat-valgus foot deformation. Since its birth, the child and his heroic mother are struggling alone with a whole bunch of diseases. In the age of a year and three months, the child underwent a surgery to remove the cyst in forehead. In the age of three, a surgery was performed on his left leg, and, in October 2015, on the right leg. For six months that he spent in plaster after the surgery, his legs and back are completely weakened, so the child learns to crawl again. He still can not walk. After five surgeries, lots of MRT and narcosis rounds, the doctors advise for Temochka to take a good rehabilitation course . He is expected to attend a course in the “Zdorovye” health center, Taganrog. His mother, who brings up him up without a farther, finds it is very difficult to find money once again to pay for rehabilitation, transportation, lodging, meals and so on. From a letter from my mother: “… I am deep in debts, I have sold everything that can be sold … but we can not stop. We have achieved great results! Therefore, I ask you to provide a financial help for our small family. ” We are looking for someone who could support Tema and his mother for an extended time (3-6 months). The family needs about EUR 200 per month.

Let me remind you that the Orthodox Volunteer Day 2018 will be held in Darmstadt from 6 to 8 July and will be dedicated to the memory of Elizaveta Feodorovna, a great Russian charity worker. We invite everyone, regardless of residence, voluteer experience, sex, age and religious affiliation! Registration is now open on our site www. orthodiakonia.de. I would like to ask all those who wish to attend, to register as soon as possible so that we can better and more easily solve all organizational issues.

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