However, her mother managed to find treatment in Germany that helped save Kira&#8217;s leg. For several years now, she has been under the care of a professor in Hamburg. The girl has undergone numerous operations. Treatment must continue because she is growing and her body is changing. Any infections or injuries carry the risk of internal bleeding and thrombosis.<\/p>\n<p>Kira still needs two more operations, which must be paid for, but only part of the required funds has been raised. Approximately 27,400 euros are still needed.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ArinaD.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ArinaD-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-23712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ArinaD-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ArinaD.jpg 319w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/a> ARINA DUDNIK, 38 years old, Kazakhstan<br \/>\nDIAGNOSIS: Stage 5 chronic kidney disease.<br \/>\nArina suffers from stage 5 chronic kidney disease. Three times a week, she undergoes a four-hour dialysis session, on which her life now depends. This places a heavy physical burden on her, while the need for continuous treatment significantly limits her everyday life. To return to a full and active life, she needs an expensive kidney transplant. The transplant would give Arina the chance to live without regular dialysis and be there for her 13-year-old son, who desperately needs his mother by his side.<\/p>\n<p>A large sum is needed for the operation and treatment. Part of the money has already been raised, but another 40,000 euros are still needed.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/AlinaK.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/AlinaK-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-23715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/AlinaK-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/AlinaK-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/AlinaK.jpg 312w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> ALINA KUPRIYANOVA, 14 years old, Krasnodar region, Russia. DIAGNOSIS: cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, congenital heart defect.<br \/>\nSeveral years ago, we helped Alina pay for rehabilitation. The girl was born with a heart defect and underwent surgery on the third day of her life. The difficult postoperative period, during which she required mechanical ventilation for 3.5 months, had serious consequences \u2013 the child came home with multiple diagnoses. Alina has a congenital heart defect, cerebral palsy, profound bilateral hearing loss (grade 4), and choroidal coloboma.<br \/>\nBut her mother, who is raising Alina alone, refuses to give up. She managed to find several clinics and specialists abroad who helped Alina learn to stand and walk, address her heart condition, and reduce her developmental delay. Thanks to rehabilitation, the girl has learned to do many things despite the doctors&#8217; predictions. She can sit, stand, and even walk with support.<\/p>\n<p>In December, Alina needs to undergo another course of rehabilitation at the Neurolife Rehabilitation Centre in China. The family has asked us for help covering the travel expenses. The amount needed is approximately 1,000 euros.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nHURRY TO DO GOOD!<br \/>\nWith warm hugs,<br \/>\nYours, Alina Titova<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear friends, on these cold days, the warmth of your hearts is so important!
