Help for Matvii

4 years ago, Matvii began to get tired quickly and lose weight, his skin became dry, and he became aggressive. When his concerned mother went to the doctor, Matvii's condition was already critical. The child was completely exhausted, and the doctors urgently sent him for tests. The blood sugar test showed a critical value – Matvii was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The boy was admitted to the hospital, where he stayed for ten days. But the worst was waiting for his mother at home. Fear for her child haunted her day and night. During these years of illness, Matvii often had both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Hypoglycemia was the worst because it happened mostly during sleep. It was a huge stress for both his mother and Matvii.

During this time, Matvii got used to a special lifestyle and diet. But with such an illness, every new day is a challenge for his mother. You never know how the child's body will behave today and how it will react to the same dish or to a simple walk. However, they are fighting. Matvii is a little hero who overcomes the limitations of blood sugar, insulin injections, and proper nutrition every day.

The boy lives in Lviv with his mom, dad and little brother. His dad works as a driver, his mom works at a cosmetics wholesale company, and his little brother goes to kindergarten. Matviiko likes to spend his free time outside with his friends, and he also likes to go to his grandparents' village and go fishing. The parents have enough money to support their children, but they are no longer able to buy sensors for Matvii on a regular basis. His mother asks for help.
