Ignat L.

Age: 12 y. o.
Residence: Kazakhstan
Diagnosis: Cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis, GMFCS level V
Needs: Surgery in China
Funds to raise: EUR 18,000

From early childhood Ignat has been fighting his illness. He recently underwent hip osteotomy surgeries. Doctors warn that without further treatment and rehabilitation, contractures will worsen, especially during the period of hormonal growth. One treatment option is the installation of a baclofen pump, but unfortunately this method is not available in Kazakhstan. Doctors recommend surgery followed by mandatory rehabilitation in China. Ignat has preserved intellectual abilities, attends a regular school, and is now in 5th grade. His mother is raising him alone; he has no close relatives and no financial means to pay for the surgery and the long rehabilitation needed to secure the results. Amount needed: €18,000.

Dmitry Zh.

Residence: Belarus
Diagnosis: desmoplastic small round cell tumor, stage 4
Needs: Therapy in Germany
Funds to raise: EUR 50,000

Dmitry has been receiving treatment in Freiburg, Germany, for four years. He has gone through chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and is now on maintenance therapy to prevent relapse. The medications and quarterly examinations are very expensive. But the therapy is helping — and stopping it is not an option. The clinic has issued an invoice for €50,000. The family asks for financial assistance.
