A chance for strength and growth

Hordii from the city of Lubny weighs only 15 kg at the age of 8. He has severe malnutrition, when the body does not receive enough nutrients. The dietician prescribed the therapeutic mixture Peptamen Junior. This food is easily digestible and provides the body with the necessary proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. To provide Gordii with the essential formula for six months, we need your support.

Hordii is the long-awaited and only child in the family. He has congenital brain malformation, cerebral palsy, tetraparesis, severe cognitive impairment, and epilepsy. He often has seizures, and even taking the anticonvulsant drugs Orfiryl and Lacosamide does not help.

Despite this, Hordii is cheerful, inquisitive, and rejoices every day. He loves it when his parents play children's musical instruments for him, and he even taught himself to play the piano and the flute!

Hordii loves to go for walks. As soon as he hears the word “walk”, he immediately starts smiling and joyfully “talking” in his own language. The child does not speak, but expresses his feelings with his eyes, facial expressions, and vocalizations.

Severe chronic malnutrition is a condition in which the body does not receive enough nutrients due to impaired absorption of food due to the peculiarities of metabolic processes. This leads to severe exhaustion of the body and weight deficit: in a year and a half, the boy gained only 1 kg and now weighs only 15 kg.

In December 2023, the doctor prescribed Hordii special nutrition Peptamen Junior, which is easily digestible and helps replenish the deficiency of necessary nutrients.

Unfortunately, one can of this food costs UAH 572, and 30 of them are needed per month. To provide Gordii with a six-month supply of nutritional supplements, we need to raise money. This amount is not affordable for the family. Let's help Hordii grow and gain weight together!
