Help to save my son!

UPD: On June 1, Denis died. Doctors did everything possible, but epilepsy, through which the boy developed atrophy of the cerebral cortex, was stronger. The UBB team brings its sincere words of condolences to the boy's native son and thanks to everyone who supported Denis. Denys was born healthy. There was no limit to the parents’ joy – they finally waited for their lovely cute baby. But the cloudless childhood of Denys did not last long. Planned BCG vaccination was done to him despite the fact that the baby at that moment was sick with rubella. The result was terrible complications that turned future of the boy and his family upside down. Now he could have finished junior school, could play football with other boys in the yard. But Denys cannot sit, walk, speak, he silently lies, and 6-7 times a day his body is shaken by epilepsy seizures.

For three years the parents managed to stop these seizures and Denys successfully started rehabilitation therapy in rehabilitation centers, took medication, courageously, not like a child, suffered from blockades in the spine of 8 injections at a time. And the treatment gave results – he began to run in a baby walker. But then epilepsy reappeared and for this reason, the rehabilitation centers are already closed for Denys. Since then, all efforts have been directed to stop these seizures. After all, every subsequent seizure in one way or another destroys the brain. Now Denys' diagnoses of ICP and epilepsy, a new diagnosis – an atrophic process of the cerebral cortex was added. In Ukraine nobody can help the boy.

But the child has a hope for recovery. The Chinese clinic offers stem cell therapy and gives good predictions for recovery, as Denis acquired the disease and the body can recover. However, treatment is very expensive – 18,000 USD. For the family where the only father works, because mother spends the whole time with her son, this is simply an unrealistic sum.

Mother asks to save her angel. "He is very kind, smiling. He understands a lot, listens very attentively when I read poetry to him and is happy when his father calls from his work, listens to his voice, and it is evident that he wants to answer, but cannot ... I beg all non-indifferent people to give my son a chance to recover. Please extend your helping hands!".
