    Vladimir’s Story

    Dear community,

    This is a mother’s message regarding her 3 year old son Vladimir from Vaslui, Romania:

    Hello!

    My name is Grecu Amalia Diana and I come with a prayer to all those who know us and to those who have the opportunity and desire to help us.

    Our son, Vladimir, was born with a congenital malformation at the level of the skull. Malformation that endangers the optimal development of the brain, the risk of intracranial pressure being the main danger when it comes to this condition. Intracranial pressure involves exophthalmos, strabismus, binocular vision disorders, decreased visual acuity up to loss of vision, vomiting, headaches, behavioral disorders, decreased cognitive functions.

    This was the reason why in August 2022, when Vladimir was 8 months old, he had his first surgical intervention. Over time, the shape of the head did not change as it should have, so at our insistence we also did a CT scan, which we later sent to America, to Dr. Jeffrey Fearon in Dallas, TX. He recommends the second operation, the justification for this decision being the fact that the first one was incompletely performed, and the risk of intracranial pressure still exists.

    The costs are enormous for us, the operation alone being approximately $60,000 and we need to collect all these pennies by March 31.

    Our Vladimir needs this intervention to be out of any risk and to correct all the defects that remained after the first intervention.

    We need help, support and please share this post. It would help us enormously!

    We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and are grateful

    Attached we will post some pictures with Vladimir and his medical documents. Every dollar is going to make a difference in his health!

    Vladimir with everyone’s help he can have access to a normal life!

    We decided to do our part and promote the case and encourage you all to help!

    You can either do it directly to his parents’ accounts or via Zelle in this non profit organization account. All donations will go straight to the family.

    Please mention: donation for Vladimir!

    Thank you for all your support!

  • Kevin’s Story

    Kevin’s Story

    Kevin is 4 years old. He was born with Down syndrome and last year he was also diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia B. 

    At the end of August, the life of this family changed radically when Kevin began to have a fever and feel worse and worse, and the medical tests showed that he suffers from Leukemia. Desperately looking for a hospital where they could save their little boy, they arrived in Rome at Bambino Gesu. So far, Kevin has gone through dozens of rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, investigations, enduring a lot of pain and suffering in this battle. 

    The situation of this family with three children is extremely difficult. The father was diagnosed with heart problems when the mother was 8 months pregnant with Kevin. He suffered 5 cardiac arrests and is carrying a defibrillator and unfortunately because of this he can no longer work. The mother worked until Kevin got sick. Now, the only income of this family is the children’s allowances. 

    Kevin is home after a long period in the hospital. He successfully completed the reinduction phase and began the next stage of treatment, the maintenance phase. This will last another year and will include chemotherapy administered orally, in the form of syrup and pills, as well as numerous medical tests and investigations. 

    Kevin and his family need our support. During this extremely difficult time, Kevin’s parents are asking for our support. With their hearts shattered, they call on us to join them in this merciless fight. Let’s be with Kevin and his family, to provide the financial support essential for their stay and continued treatment in Italy. 

    They currently need assistance to cover six months of rent at $400 per month. Help us reach our goal!
