Help to feed Misha. 2

"The medical examination revealed that Misha should be monitored at the Transplantology Institute and should be put on a waiting list for a liver transplant," the beginning of this year was more than worrisome for a small family from Lisichansk. The doctors give six more months for monitoring. In the interim, Misha needs to take medicines that support liver function and to gain more weight – it's far from being normal and in the view of looming serious surgery, he needs to gain weight the sooner the better. Would you please help the boy? 

Misha has cystic fibrosis – it's a congenital genetic disease which affects all of the body organs. Breathing and food absorption are the functions most severely affected; also, it puts great stress on the liver. It is possible to live with the disease, but every single day of this life requires lots of perseverance and patience from a patient and lots of money from his/her family. A CF patient needs to perform a range of exercises and procedures daily and to take a lot of medicines. Mishka is not delighted, of course, with this life style, but he got used to it, while his mom got used to constant searching in an effort to obtain everything that her son needs.

In Lugansk region, it is difficult to obtain anything at the expense of the state budget. And the boy's currently in a bad shape and his time is running out. His mother asks for help in stocking up on Ursofalk medicine and special high-calory diet. These things are needed not only in the view of pending liver transplant issue, but they help to maintain the quality of usual everyday life, because body weight is not just about esthetics, it helps you sustain your vitality, your capability to resist infections which continually bombard a CF patient. By supporting Misha, you'll help him ward off the enemy's attacks and gain victory in the fight for his life.

Earlier at UBB, we have already collected funds for Misha. View the previous project you can by the link.
