Diagnosis: Multiple arthrogryposis.<br \/>\nUntil the age of 5, Misha lived in an orphanage. He has a congenital musculoskeletal condition and, before being adopted, he couldn&#8217;t walk or move his arms. Over his 13 years, Misha has undergone many surgeries to be able to live a full life. Unfortunately, he has recently experienced a complication in his foot, that was operated in Germany several years ago. He has now been unable to walk for almost a year.<br \/>\nTo determine the cause of the complication, Misha was brought to a German clinic for an examination. A medical board has decided that he would need another surgery. But at the moment, Misha and his mother just need to return home. They need help to purchase the tickets \u2013 \u20ac300\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MikhailS.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MikhailS-279x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"279\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-22161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MikhailS-279x300.jpg 279w, https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MikhailS.jpg 446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><\/a> ALEXANDER SADKOVSKY, 4 years old, Moldova. Diagnosis: Epilepsy.<br \/>\nTill the age of 6 months, little Alexander has been developing normally, without any particular issues. He was able to hold his head up on time, grab toys with his hands, roll over, crawl, sit up, and more. However, in January 2021, he contracted Covid-19. As a result, he has suffered a stroke, leukoencephalomalacia, spastic tetraparesis, and multifocal drug-resistant epilepsy that does not respond to any medication.<br \/>\nNone of the existing medications have brought positive changes, and the epilepsy is progressing. There are up to 30 seizures a day, and, because of this, he is not developing properly. The only option is the surgical removal of the epileptic focus. If the focus in the brain is not removed, more strokes will follow. The Teknon Clinic in Spain is ready to perform the surgery. This is his chance for life.<br \/>\nAmount required: \u20ac65,000\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MonteNegro.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MonteNegro-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-22164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MonteNegro-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MonteNegro.jpg 634w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> HAVE A VACATION AND HELP!<br \/>\nWe invite anyone interested to spend a vacation on the Adriatic coast in the apartments of our partners.
