Age: 3 yo.
Residence: Tolyatti, Russia.
Diagnosis:CNS dysfunction, epilepsy.
Needs: treatment with a ketogenic diet.

The child suffers from frequent seizures, which destroy him physically and don’t give him a chance to develop. The parents believe that their child will start walking and talking, playing with other children in the court! Their hope is a treatment with a ketogenic diet course in the German Filderklinik in Stuttgart, where he is welcomed on the 5th of October. The cost of the course is 2765 euros.

Age: 16 yo
Residence: Odessa region
Diagnosis:spinal tumour, scoliosis.
Needs: rehabilitation to be able to walk

Since she was nine years old, Olga has been fighting her tumour. Quite successfully. But after the operation on her spine and installation of a construction the girl stopped walking.
The construction broke, scoliosis developed. In 2015 Olga went through a lucky operation in Germany, after which she was able to sit without pain. Now her life goal is to be able to stand on her legs. The doctors from the German rehabilitation centre are sure that it is possible to achieve that in three months, even though it will be very difficult. The sum asked for by the clinic is 34 045 euros. The deadline is the 28th of September! Sum still left to be collected: 23 801 euros.

Greetings, Alina!

The course of the treatment was not easy for Nikita. In the middle of the course, he has caught chickenpox. He was quarantineed for several days and had fever and itch. Thank God, the clinic personnel took it calmly and allowed us to resume rehabilitation after the crisis period. Nikita missed a just few days of treatment at the clinic. Of course, the disease has sat back our progress. His body has weakened. But Nikita has recovered, and the treatment at the clinic once again brought good results. Thank you so much!!!!

Natalia and Nikita Kucherenko
