Help our Stephany

Such a beautiful girl with not less beautiful name Stefaniya. This little girl is already 2.5 years old, but serious disease does not allow her to get acquainted fully with the world around. The name of this enemy is epileptic encephalopathy with congenital abnormality of the brain, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.  The little girl needs your help!

Since the birth, her right side of the brain that is responsible for speech and movement does not function. But maternal love and care can do miracles. Regular exercises at home, professional massages, visiting swimming pool. And here is the result. The first conscious smile, reaction to others, favorite toys, moving on stilts. Her energy, desire to know the world inspired.

But the disease took a step. Communication with her sister, grandparents replaced her communication with doctors and medical staff, walking for the hospital corridors. We have begun to see her smiling face less and less. Instead of active girl – passive and sad daughter to whom it is difficult even to sit. Moreover, the medications prescribed by the doctors after several doctors consultations don't help.

We must stop epileptic attacks to return to the same level of development. At present moment it is extremely difficult! Unfortunetly, there is no radical treatment, just appropriate medicinal treatment is possible to be prescribed that decrease the epileptic attacks and convulsions. Moreover, using such type of treatment the organism can develop.

It is hurtful to mom to look at her suffering, because she has not even heard from her daughter the word “Mom”. Everything is in God’s hands! A foreign clinic "Memorial", Turkey, can help the little girl. The diagsnosis and medicinal treatment will be provided. But the invoice from the clinic is priced out of reach for Stefaniya's family.

"We are not able to pay the invoice by ourselves. That is why our family is asking concerned people to help us to raise the funds. Please, help us to see smiling and cheerful daughter again!" - begging the Stefaniya's mom.
