Happy story for Roma

“Roman is 2 years old, and his pancreas practically does not function. The diagnosis is cystic fibrosis, the form is medium-heavy. This disease affects the lungs and digestive system. As of today the boy needs everyday inhalations, working on breathing equipment, special diet food and enzyme medicines as soon as he is practically has no his own enzymes. "Today I ask you to help our child", Mama Alexandra is very precise and concrete. She got hold of herself, studied all difficult rules of life with cystic fibrosis and is determined to fight for her son. And today they need help. 

Recently, pseudomonas infection has been diagnosed in Roma's lungs. All patients with cystic fibrosis are afraid of this bacterium. It is very difficult to get rid of this infection, and it causes long chronical diseases. Patient have to stay in the hospital for a long time, being treated with high doses of antibiotics and having real chances to get into resuscitation dept. The fight against Pseudomonas requires a lot of efforts and energy, it is really exausting as the patient does not gain weight. And if you recollect - cystic fibrosis itself violates the digestion of food... In brief, a serious infection of a two-year-old child is a serious problem.

Although Roma himself does not understand this yet. He likes dancing - note: Latin-Spanish songs only, adores to play with children - runs to them outside, at a party and even in the hospital... At home he is drawing for a long time, playing stories with toy cars and animals...

Now it's our turn to make his own story continue happily. The family of little Roman asks for help in paying for the respiratory trainnig device, a powerful inhaler - the usual one will not cope with the intensive treatment of pseudomonas infection - and consumables as well. In addition, we plan to purchase a 2-month supply of special high-calorie nutrition. Now Roma's weight is only 15 kg, we can not lose a single one anymore.
