Surgery for Tymur

Tymurchyk is an expected and desired child. Mom and dad were happy to hear about their son, the older brother dreamed of a friend for games. Unfortunately, the boy is still not with his family, and his whole life is limited by the hospital walls. Tymurchyk’s first year consists of examinations and painful procedures. Now he urgently needs surgery to eliminate the defect of the skull bones.

Tymurchyk has craniostenosis. With this diagnosis, the skull bones do not grow, although the brain develops normally. Over time, severe pain occurs due to high blood pressure, which can lead to irreversible consequences. The child will constantly suffer from symptoms that will significantly affect his life quality.

The boy has already started having seizures, he can’t hold his head straight. There is not enough time for fundraising because the surgery must be performed immediately. Tymur should have special plates installed that will hold the skull bones. For the family from a small village, the amount of almost 100,000 UAH is simply unrealistic. Without the help of caring people they cannot cope.

In the cramped ward of the Okhmatdyt Hospital, little Tymur is waiting for our help during these hot days.
