Igor: number of bills from pharmacies is increasing

The weight of 46 kg is not enough. This is not sufficient if you are a boy with 174 cm in height. This is unacceptable if you have a life-long illness that violates the digestibility of food. And certainly, it is not enough, when chronic infections bring almost every day high temperature burning even the weight that was gained. Igor had bad luck and was born with a serious disease and he has to fight it every day of his life. He needs a lot of strengths to fight. But he cannot get normal weight using ordinary food and needs a special high-calorie diet. Help him with it. 

Cystic fibrosis is a serious incurable disease that affects the whole body. Igor suffers from chronic infections, ruining his lungs and preventing breathing. The pancreas is extremely weak. Every piece of a meal should be accompanied by enzyme medicines in big quantity. His own enzymes are not enough for normal digestion. And still having such support patient with cystic fibrosis cannot absorb enough food to gain normal body weight. The only way out is to get special extra high-calorie food.

Igor is already an adult person. Unfortunately, this means that he receives much less support from the state. Instead, the older patient with cystic fibrosis becomes, the more high dosage drugs are prescribed to him. This means that pharmacies' bills are getting bigger and state aid is smaller. Igor's family get used to coping with many problems on their own. But they cannot manage everything. Can we buy special high-calorie diet food for Igor? Need your help.
