September 2026 News

      After a long period of online learning, Vanya has finally started school, where he will be able to interact fully with his peers and learn directly from his teachers. He had been really looking forward to the start of the new school year.

      The boy spent most of the summer at home, as he is not allowed to spend long periods in the sun, and physical activity often triggers pain in his joints and back. He managed to go for a walk in the park and ride his bike a few times, but had to stop these activities as he began to feel unwell.

      Vanya’s condition is currently stable, but there has been no improvement. Every three months, he undergoes follow-up examinations, the results of which are used to adjust his treatment and lifestyle. This summer, he was also prescribed an additional course of treatment for anaemia and vitamin D deficiency, the results of which will be assessed once the course is complete.

      We are sincerely grateful to all donors and followers of dobro.ua for their support of Ivan!
