Let's save little Mykhailo!

The story is about 3-year-old Misha. However, we will start it with a story of Olya Silantieva. Do you remember the girl from Dniprodzerzhynsk with exstrophy of bladder? After four unsuccessful operations in Ukraine, the girl had an operation in Serbia, where doctors managed to close the abdominal wall. Mykhailo Podgorny was born with the same anomaly. He has even overtaken Olga – suffered five transactions for 3.5 years. Like Olya, Misha had persistent fistula – a dangerous thing, an open gate for infection. And the boy is promised 100% guarantee for successful solution of the problem in Serbia.

Misha was born June 13, 2012. His life began with the terrible diagnosis: bladder exstrophy and total epispadia. Translating from the medical language: absence of the front paries of the bladder, the splitting of the abdominal wall, splitting the front paries of the urethra. The child had internals outside of his body.

Already on the 5th day of life the baby was operated. After surgery, a week of intensive care, several days in the hospital, antibiotics... Nevertheless, the seams sprang– and again the operation, the hospital, antibiotics. This repeated 5 times. Parents no longer believe that anyone can help Misha in Ukraine.

Every day, the boy takes drugs for the prevention of pyelonephritis; every day brings a painful procedure for the treatment of the wound. Despite this, he grows up as a normal boy and even better. Parents wrote about the boy: smart, spirited, kind and brave. Do you remember that Olya Silantieva, according to her parents, was also a fighter? Maybe this disease makes kids so persistent.

We will not talk about the professionalism of Ukrainian doctors. In fact, each country cannot have lead qualification specialists for any rare diseases. There are not enough cases that a surgeon can get experience in. Even children from Germany and Israel come to Serbian Dr. Rados Djinovic. And Misha’s case is not the most complex one. Serbian doctors give a very high chance that the child will recover fully.

The price is 10 000 euros. The monthly income of the family is 150 euros. Misha’s parents can only rely on you. The proposal of the Serbian clinic is not ephemeral hope. It is a real opportunity to give a possibility to live a full life to Misha. Let's return the childhood to the boy and calm happy life to his parents.
